Mission: The MN-AATG supports the teaching of the German language and German-speaking cultures in elementary, secondary and post-secondary education in the United States. The MN-AATG promotes the study of the German-speaking world in all its linguistic, cultural and ethnic diversity, and endeavors to prepare students as transnational, transcultural learners and active, multilingual participants in a globalized world.
Professional Workshops: The MN AATG sponsors a fall (September) and spring (April) professional workshop each year. See Workshops for updated information.
Meetings: MN AATG holds two member meetings each year in conjunction with the biannual professional workshops.
National German Exam: We encourage High School students to participate in the National German Exam.
MN AATG Banquet: Each May MN-AATG hosts a banquet honoring German educators, programs, and students who have performed well on the National German Exam. We are rebuilding, and plan to offer the Minnesota AATG Banquet soon!
Membership: We strive to serve all former, current, and future German educators in our state, and encourage each to become a member of the National AATG organization, which provides our funding and structural center.
