AASA Stand Up for Public Education™ Campaign

AASA invites you to use the tools in this section to get involved in the associations's Stand Up for Public Education Campaign, a multiyear effort to support high-quality public education. The campaign's goals are:
  • To increase awareness of the good news about public education among the public, the news media and policymakers.

  • To empower school leaders to positively influence the dialogue about public education, respond to misinformation concerning public education and maintain public support to continue improving education for each child.

  • To advocate for three fundamental principles of public schooling: getting children ready for school; getting schools ready for children; and getting children ready for democracy.

Learn more in the campaign fact sheet (PDF) and white paper (PDF).
