“AEEA offers a chance to reflect on the collective impact that GSE alumni have had on education and the communities they serve. For over a decade, we’ve had the opportunity to publicly recognize and celebrate alumni for achievements ranging from being exceptional teachers here in California to transforming entire school systems in faraway nations.”
