Jaepl 31 (2026): The Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning

JAEPL Volume 31 - 2026 THE JOURNAL OF THE ASSEMBLY FOR EXPANDED PERSPECTIVES ON LEARNING, JAEPL, provides a forum to encourage research, theory, and classroom practices involving expanded concepts of language. It fosters a sense of community in which scholars and educators from preschool through the university level exchange perspectives and cutting-edge approaches to teaching and learning. JAEPL is especially interested in helping those teachers who experiment with new strategies for learning to share their practices and confirm their validity through publication in professional journals.
