About Perspectives Journal and Archives

  Editor: Paula Vincent, Retired Iowa Chief Administrator

Perspectives welcomes manuscripts and articles from all those interested in the work of service agencies in the United States. The journal publishes articles of research and practice in three different strands.  The first strand relates to formal research, the second is a programmatic strand, and the third is for short articles that highlight a story of interest that may be a topic for future research and analysis.  Interviews with public officials (legislators, chief state school officials, business leaders, etc.) regarding their positive views of the work of service agencies are also welcome since they can be helpful to colleagues, individuals and public/private entities across the nation. AESA has moved to an online format so that as soon as articles are completed and approved by the editorial board they will be shared with the membership. In the fall of each school year a composite of all the work completed during the previous school year will placed in Perspectives: A Journal of Research and Practice About Educational Service Agencies.

Please read the Editorial Guidelines. For further information about how to prepare your article or manuscript, please contact Paula Vincent, Perspectives Editor.  

Beginning in February 2018,  AESA moved from providing Perspectives articles as PDFs to providing them in a blog format.
