AMAE Mission Statement

 AMAE History

The mission of the Association of Mexican American Educators, Inc., is to ensure equal access to financial resources for a quality education for Mexican American/Latino students at all levels, validate and affirm cultural and linguistic diversity, advise local/state boards, legislators, administrators, and faculty on educational and financial policy, work in partnership with parents and communities for the benefit of our students and advocate for ongoing recruitment, retention, support, and development of Mexican American/Latino educators, and others committed to a top quality education in the 21st century for students.

The Creed of the Latino Educator​
I believe in accepting each child with the enrichment
​brought from home, and in using the child’s experiences, language and culture as vehicles for better instruction.
I believe in promoting brotherhood, in teaching all children to love their culture and to respect the culture of others.
I believe in developing in each child a positive self-concept. 
I believe in continuing my education in order to continue learning with the children.
Therefore, I believe in the role of the Latino Educator and I accept the challenge this offers me.

​    The Association of Mexican American Educators was formed in 1965.  It was born in conflict with the existing educational system and its inequality of educational opportunity for all students, in particular Mexican/Latino students.   AMAE was organized to address the problems facing our students in the schools.  Efforts were directed toward the elimination of English only rules, toward scholarships to encourage students to continue their education, and toward a drive to attract more Latinos to educational careers and into positions of leadership and influence.      Today, there are chapters throughout the state of California.  Just in our valley, chapters exist in Fresno, Madera, and Porterville.
