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.
