The Association of Mexican-American Educators Journal (AMAE) was developed with the expressed purpose of providing a forum for addressing research and academic issues of importance to the education of Mexican-American/Latino children and families to help inform researchers and academics in higher education. In addition, we hope to inform other stakeholders such as administrators, policy-makers and civic leaders. In this way, the AMAE Journal is organized and focused to make an immediate impact at different educational levels to inform different constituencies from academia to policy makers on the conditions of Mexican-American/Latino students and their families.
