The Albert Shanker Institute is a nonprofit think tank based in Washington, DC, established in 1998 to honor the life and legacy of the late president of the American Federation of Teachers. Its bylaws emphasize four core principles: a vibrant democracy, quality public education, a voice for working people in decisions affecting their jobs and lives, and free and open debate about these issues. The organization pursues work in education, democratic citizenship, and the concerns of working people, often through collaborative initiatives and projects with partners in education and public policy.
Recent activity highlights collaborations and programs that expand access to civic and educational knowledge, including partnerships with Maryland-based education leaders and programs designed to provide content knowledge about constitutional rights. The institute has engaged in initiatives related to early literacy and state education finance analysis in the past, reflecting a focus on evidence-based educational policy and democratic instruction. Located in the District of Columbia, the organization operates with a small staff and maintains a website for information and updates on its work.
