Welcome to the Association of American Educators' online publication,
Reform Matters! This education reform-focused publication features both original AAE content and a compilation of the latest news from the growing education reform community.

 

Note: We are proud to be member-driven and only take positions on issues after our members are surveyed at a majority. The studies, articles, and policies showcased in this newsletter have not necessarily been endorsed by AAE; however, by sharing new and innovative trends in education policy, we hope to educate and empower our members by examining new possibilities in education.
