Excelsior provides a forum for exploring issues related to teaching and learning at public and independent higher education institutions that offer educator and leader preparation programs. Excelsior is published twice a year in an online format.
Excelsior: Leadership in Teaching and Learning is a peer-reviewed, fully open-access journal provided by the professional association NYACTE (New York Association of Colleges for Teacher Education).
