The American Association of Teachers of German is a professional association in the field of professional training and coaching, based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. It serves teachers of German at all levels and others with an interest in German education, counting more than four thousand members. Founded in 1926, the organization emphasizes bringing the language, literature, and cultures of the German-speaking world to Americans as a humanistic endeavor and an essential national interest. The association participates in professional events and initiatives, including attendance at the centennial conference in Boston as part of AATG@100: Forging the Future, with travel support provided to eight recipients to attend the centennial gathering. It also oversees the National German Exam, which in January 2025 featured participation from Watertown High School, illustrating its role in coordinating assessments and engaging students. In addition, the board announced a major change regarding the AATG/ACTFL annual conference for 2025 and 2026, signaling ongoing adjustments in its event schedule.
