AEL's mission is to sustain a community of educational leadership toward the ideals of delivering equal educational opportunity and access and maximizing intellectual and personal growth for all children under our collective supervision and care.
What is AEL?
For a number of reasons mostly defined by the manner in which salaries, wages and working conditions are determined. The Anne Arundel Board of Education groups its employees into "Units." Teachers are a unit. School Secretaries are a unit. Etc. Unit 2 is composed primarily of school-based administration and instructional and curriculum supervisors and coordinators.
Only Unit 2 employees can become members of AEL.
AEL is the collective bargaining agent for Unit 2
. AEL is a
stand-alone association; that is, membership does not require membership in other dues-paying organizations.
However, AEL does provide member-exclusive, convenient access to other associations with direct links on this site affordable through payroll deduction.
AEL plays a central role in the formation, development, and implementation of Board of Education initiatives including those targeting student achievement, individual school performance, and professional staff performance standards, appraisal and accountability.
