The Australian Education Leader

ACEL's publication, The Australian Educational Leader, 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 issue of AEL features the sections of ‘ACEL Annual Pillars’ which explores at least one of the four themes of each up and coming ACEL Annual Conference, and ‘ACEL in Focus’ which provides an update on current ACEL initiatives and planning.

The journal contains the following sections:

  • Editorial
  • ACEL in Focus
  • Annual Pillars
  • Feature Articles
  • Research Update
  • Keys to Leadership
  • Mentoring and Coaching
  • Nurturing New Leaders
  • Leading with Technology
  • Schools and the Law
  • Marketing Today’s Schools
  • Personal View
  • Of Interest

Our readers are committed and hard working 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.
