ACEL's "The Australian Educational Leader" publication is recognised throughout Australia and in many parts of the world as the practical and research based journal that all educational leaders can use to inform their daily and future professional work.
Published quarterly since 1979, The Australian Educational Leader is a practical vehicle for the exchange of current educational research, trends and innovations. It is a valuable resource for accessing leading educational techniques, tools and thinking. AEL is a forum in which school leaders can share their expertise for the collective benefit. AEL also provides an insight into the directions and achievements of The Australian Council for Educational Leaders. Each quarterly issue features a theme that is both current and relevant to today’s practitioners.
Our readers are committed and hardworking educational leaders who regularly utilise AEL as an invaluable resource for its inspiration and practical guidance. They are responsible for decisions and planning which affect the teaching and learning environments entrusted to them and which in turn influence the lives of current and future generations. AEL is an important link in this educational process and cycle.
We are proud to announce that as of 2013, AEL will be published by leading Australian publisher, Minnis Journals. As publisher of the popular and successful quarterly Education Today magazine, Minnis Journals brings a fresh perspective to ACEL's journal. This change takes the ACEL's journal to the next level and sets the course for eventual electronic publishing. ACEL will also continue to publish the print edition for its members if required.
Coming in March 2013, the new look AEL will bring a freshmodern, uncluttered design that mirrors the direction ACEL is taking in all of its activities.
