Founded by educators for educators, ATPE is the leading educators’ association in Texas and one of the largest independent educators’ associations in the United States.
We put Texas educators first. ATPE serves the needs of Texas teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, and all public education employees. Together, we fight for our schools on the local, state, and national levels.
We are collaborative and nonpartisan. We believe it takes everyone working together to improve Texas public schools. We work with all stakeholders in public education, regardless of political party or platform. We work collaboratively with all sides of any debate to find the best solution.
We are member-driven and member-led. We represent the priorities defined by our members—working educators who are passionate about Texas public schools.
