American Education
Week, Nov. 11-17, 2001
Washington. [J.C.- For 78 years. the week before Thanksgiving has been
celebrated by communities across the country as American Education Week,
a special time to honor the teachers and'school stall"who educate the nation's
53 million school children even day This year. American Education Week
(AEW) will be observed November! I -17. providing the nation an opportunity
to recognize the critical role public schools serve by caring for our children
and imparting American ideals
"This year, it is fitting to acknowledge the importance of teachers and school
stafT who year atler year teach generations of native-bom and immigrant students
to understand and respect America's core values." said National Education
Association (NEA) President Bob Chase. "I urge the country to commemorate
AEW by honoring America's educators for their vital role in reclaiming
our nation's spirit."
"tn the wake of September 11, teachers, school support professionals and
other staff have bonded together to help children cope w ith overwhelming
events, while experiencing their own shock and grief,'.' Chase explained.
"School statT across the nation have channeled feelings of anxiety into service.
raising funds for relief efforts and sharing valuable lessons of hope and
healing."
The NEA and the American Legion established American Education Week
in I s?2 I as a way of highlighting the value of public education. Today. AEW
has grown to include the 12 leading national education organizations, such as
the PTA and groups representing principals, school boards, and administrators.
The 2001 theme. "Together: Making Public Schools Great for Every Child."
reflects the reality that when the partnership between school staff, parents and
students is successful, a quality education is nearly guaranteed.
The theme also points out that everyone has a role to play in making public
schools great- parents, neighbors, business, government, as well as teachers,
principals. bus drivers, and all other school staff.
For this reason, the Wednesday of American Education Week (Nov. 14) is
designated "Educational Support Professional Day" to salute the unique role
played by school support staff. 75 percent of whom live in the same neighborhoods
as their students. Their shared socio-economic class, race, or ethnicity
leads to powerful bonds with youngsters.
"No matter what their job at school - whether it's teaching math or typing
attendance reports- school professionals impart lessons about respect, diversity.
and responsibility." Chase said. "These ideals will help students throughout
life."
American Education Week activities span from poster contests and PTAhosted
suppers to student gifts of handmade cards, personal essays, and other
"thank yous" to school staff. Parents participate in read-ins, principals produce
daily morning quotes about the value of education, and communities
hold events to celebrate the good work being done in the nation's classrooms.
