The Arkansas Association of Alternative Educators is an organization whose membership is made up of teachers and administrators responsible for providing effective education programs in alternative environments through out the state.

A.A.A.E. has three main goals:

  • Provide an instrument through which educators can communicate and network statewide with other Alternative Educators.

  • Gather and disseminate information which is relevant to Alternative Educators.

  • Provide a unified voice for Alternative Education practitioners in Arkansas.





Enabling Student Success

Through the non-profit FIRST Center each participating ALE has an opportunity to participate in a specifically designed "club" experience for ALE students. This experience includes free supplies, materials and activity guides for 5 clubs (maximum of 10 students in each club). These three sessions are designed to fully train and educate ALE personnel in this exciting club opportunity.
