Association of American Educators

A new beginning is well under way as I have achieved one of my

educational goals. I have now completed most of my classes. Now is the time I will

now focus on my job seeking efforts to enter the workforce in my chosen discipline or

career. In addition to having researched all resources needed for doors of job

opportunities to open, one resource stood out from among the list I compiled from my

research. This resource is Association of American Educators (AAE) . The AAE has

offered amazing benefits to all its members.

Educated students believe they have obtained the necessary knowledge

required of their chosen discipline which includes how to access available resources.

Therefore, students intend to enter the workforce with immense anticipation. School

staff posted a job listing in various areas where students congregate. Students learned

via the job announcement that the School District will hire the best applicant from the

me with many windows of opportunities overall. Certainly, a membership to above

Association will open new doors for promotional and new job opportunities.

It’s disingenous for anyone to attempt to dissuade prospective educators

from membership to the AAE without having an adverse affect on their pursuit for

professional advancement. The professional advancement sought and the access to

much needed benefits are found with the AAE. Moreover, the AAE ascertains they will

continue to develop new strategies for members’ professional advancement, networking

opportunities, and new strategies to implement in their workplace thereby making a

difference with confidence in others’ lives.
