Editor's Note
A Publishing Home for Professors
As an organization, AASA has experienced what I’d consider a rather cyclical relationship with the higher education community over the years. At times, the bonds have been visibly strong in professional growth programs, our national conference, public advocacy, AASA governance and professional recognition activities. (Anyone active for the past 30 years will recall the Conference Within a Convention for university members at the association’s national conference each year.)
For all of that time, AASA has maintained a periodical to ensure research or evidence-based articles support the work of school district leaders, while providing a publishing home for university-affiliated researchers and their practitioner partners. In the 1990s, the publication was called The AASA Professor, a print newsletter. Since 2004, it’s been known as the AASA Journal of Scholarship and Practice, a digital quarterly intended for application in today’s K-12 education arena. Current and past issues can be found online.
JSP has gained new visibility and greater respect in recent years under the diligent leadership of Ken Mitchell and Barbara Dean, serving as editor and associate editor, respectively. There’s always something relevant around a contemporary theme in each new issue. So I’m hoping you’ll keep this refereed journal in your sights after you’ve completed your reading of this month’s School Administrator on various aspects of K-12’s connections with higher education.
