"AAE is reasoned, balanced, and classroom-oriented, leaving politics to political entities. Educators can find common ground in AAE with its focus on building knowledge and character in America's youth. "

Dr. Lewis Hodge, former Professor of Education, University of Tennessee


"A well known law is, 'you reap what you sow.' It is time for a change! It is time for a change in leadership. It is time for the AAE!"

Gene Bedley, 1986 PTA National Educator of the Year



"I finally found an education association I'm proud to be a part of. But I also save over $400 every year from what I paid in union dues by joining AAE. Plus I get great insurance and legal protection! Membership in this organization just makes good economic sense."

Sandra Lastra, 1995 Outstanding New Mexico Teacher of the Year
