Association of American Educators (AAE) is a national, non-union, professional teacher association in the United States. Its stated mission is to “advance the profession through personal growth, professional development, teacher advocacy and protection.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About AAE )〕 AAE also seeks to “promote excellence in education so that () receive the respect, recognition and reward they deserve.”〔 AAE is officially nonpartisan.〔 AAE is not a union or a lobbying organization, but licensed as a 501(c)(6) professional trade association.〔 AAE is funded by dues from thousands of members located in all fifty states and the District of Columbia and by contributions to the AAE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AAE Foundation )〕 AAE claims to “help lead a coalition of nearly 300,000 teachers across the country who have joined a non-union teacher association.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Join AAE )〕 ==History== The Association of American Educators was founded in 1994 by Gary Beckner, his wife, and a group of nationally-recognized educators, including three National Teachers of the Year, many of whom continue to serve on the AAE Advisory Board.〔 Over 2,000 teachers joined AAE during their first year of operation, and membership doubled the following year. While recruiting members directly through word-of-mouth, mailings, and at teacher conferences and new teacher orientations across the country, AAE has partnered with pre-existing state-based non-union educator associations in Louisiana and North Carolina. Additionally, AAE has established state-based non-union educator associations representing teachers in Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington. AAE also partners with county- and district-level associations in other states, including Nevada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AAE State Partners )〕 AAE is headquartered in Mission Viejo, California.
