The Association of American Educators (AAE) is the largest national non-union teacher association in the United States. Established in 1994, AAE was founded by renowned educators who recognized the need for an organization that prioritizes student achievement and professional benefits over partisan politics. With members in all 50 states, AAE is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering greater professionalism in the classroom.

As advocates for professional educators, AAE provides a range of services and benefits to its members. These include liability insurance, scholarships, and grants, as well as access to professional resources. AAE promotes teachers as professionals and takes policy positions exclusively on issues directly related to education.

Notably, AAE does not engage in collective bargaining, as it believes this approach prioritizes the interests of adults over the needs of students. Furthermore, AAE does not use members' dues for partisan politics or support controversial agendas unrelated to education. Membership in AAE is open to all educational employees, while parents, business leaders, and legislators can show their support by becoming Associate/Support Members.
