Overview
Phi Delta Kappa (PDK) is an international association composed of individuals devoted to excellence in education. The mission of Phi Delta Kappa is to promote quality and universally accessible education as a means to sustain a democratic society. The association does this through its research, service, and leadership initiatives at the international, regional, and chapter levels.
The Phi Delta Kappa (PDK) Association was established in 1906 to support educators by strengthening their interest in the profession. PDK Association membership is for those educators who are invested in digging deeper into the most pressing issues facing educators today and navigating the intersection between research and practice. PDK Association membership is for any educator who wants to learn about the most cutting-edge research in education, grow their skill set, influence the national conversation on education, and support the next generation of future educators.
The St. John's University PDK Chapter has over three decades of engaging our students and alumni in opportunities to develop and strengthen best practices for the educational environment. It is the vision of the St. John's University PDK Chapter to foster a network of educators to positively impact local and national educational institutions.
