AESA Perspectives Journal
Welcome to AESA's Perspectives Journal, where we explore critical issues and forward-thinking ideas shaping the educational landscape. Our goal is to offer a platform for educators, leaders, and experts to share their insights and experiences on a wide array of topics, ranging from educational innovation and research to policy and promising practices.
We hope that these articles not only encourage reflection but also spark action—contributing to transformative improvements in classrooms, schools, and the broader educational community. Thank you for engaging with Perspectives Journal and joining us in this ongoing exploration of the future of education.
Governance Structure
Editor & Editorial Board
The editor of the Perspectives Journal is appointed by the AESA Executive Council for a five-year term.

Board members are appointed to four-year staggered terms, ensuring continuity and balanced representation. Each of the four AESA regions—Eastern, Southern, Central, and Western—are represented by at least one and no more than two board members, ensuring that the board is composed of 4 to 8 members in total.
