History of American Education WeekAmerican Education Week is always the week prior to Thanksgiving in Nov..

THEME for 2010: Leading the Way Through Education

The National Education Association was one of the creators and original sponsors of American Education Week. Army educators join educators from across the country to celebrate American Education Week. The week highlights the importance of bringing together educators, school staff, parents, students, and communities in a unified effort for education. Each November, the Army again refocuses on strengthening their resolve to educate America's soldier students to meet the challenges of leadership today and tomorrow.

Distressed that 25 percent of the country's World War I draftees were illiterate and nine percent were physically unfit. Representatives of the NEA and the American Legion met in 1919 to seek ways to generate public support for education.

The conventions of both organizations subsequently adopted resolutions of support for a national effort to raise public awareness of the importance of education. In 1921, the NEA Representative Assembly in Des Moines, Iowa, called for designation of one week each year to spotlight education. In its resolution, the NEA called for: "An educational week observed in all communities annually for the purpose of informing the public of the accomplishments and needs of the public schools and to secure the cooperation and support of the public in meeting those needs."

The first observance of American Education Week occurred December 4-10, 1921, with the NEA and American Legion as the cosponsors. A year later, the then U.S. Office of Education joined the effort as a cosponsor, and the PTA followed in 1938..- Resource: www.nea.org/aew/history.html
