AAE Welcomes National School Choice Week 2015

National School Choice Week 2015 is just around the corner and the Association of American Educators is excited to be celebrating with like-minded groups and organizations again this year at events across the nation!

From January 23rd through January 31st, teams of supporters in all learning environments will come together to send a strong, unified message that teachers, parents, and students alike deserve (and benefit from) choice in education!

At AAE, we recognize that school choice is a vital component of the education reform movement, and we believe teachers need choices, too. We know that students learn differently, so a one-size-fits-all learning environment does little to meet the needs of all stakeholders – and school choice is a valuable tool for all parties. To inspire genuine learning, parents, students, and educators must have the power to choose the learning environment that is best suited for their individual needs.

AAE Executive Director Gary Beckner recognizes the potential that comes with choice in education. “School Choice Week is a nonpartisan, nonpolitical grassroots movement aimed at raising public awareness of and to start tens of thousands of individual conversations across our country about the need for, and benefits of, educational opportunity," he said. “We’re thrilled to represent an authentic voice for classroom teachers across the country!”

As a professional association of educators, AAE is uniquely positioned to join the conversation and make sure AAE member voices are heard when it comes to school choice. By joining this network of organizations, we can directly affect policy that will have a profound impact on improving and modernizing education.
