Along with the help and guidance you give them, encourage them to join Student MEA! There are many benefits for them now as well as later.
The small enrollment fee ($28) gives them access to many benefits of active members, including attendance at MEA conferences, discounts, liability insurance. Have your student teacher take a look at the details by going to the following link on the MEA website. In addition, once they have a teaching position and join the MEA, their dues will be discounted if they have been a student member! Since many students are on tight budgets, perhaps your local association would be willing to sponsor them and chip in for their student dues?
