Current Issue: Volume 6, Issue 2 (2025) The Passion to Care and Cultivate an Enlightened Citizenry: Why We Do What We Do

The Journal of Advancing Education Practice (JAEP) Fall 2025 issue explores the deeply rooted motivations and complex contexts that sustain educators' commitment to teaching and learning, even as the profession is increasingly beset by political, economic, and systemic challenges. This issue—“The Passion to Care and Cultivate an Enlightened Citizenry: Why We Do What We Do”—aims to engage scholars, practitioners, and educational leaders in a critical and generative dialogue about the personal, professional, and philosophical drivers that keep educators in the field. At a time when burnout, disillusionment, and teacher attrition are at crisis levels, we seek to spotlight the resiliency, strategies, and enduring sense of purpose that enable educators to persist—and even thrive.
