Warm greetings to all readers of AJSE. I am delighted to introduce Issue 1 for 2015 by announcing the appointment of Associate Professor Umesh Sharma as Joint Editor-in-Chief with me effective from this Issue. Umesh is a highly regarded academic at Monash University with a particular reputation in teacher education and inclusive education. He is internationally known for his work in many countries progressing the effective education of students with a wide range of additional needs, and the teachers and families who support them. I am honoured to work with Umesh and I know that with Genevieve, the staff at Cambridge University Press, Colleen and the AASE National Council, we will see the journal continue to thrive into the future.
You may have noticed that we sometimes introduce new Editorial Consultants into the journal and say thanks and goodbye to outgoing colleagues who have performed this role with aplomb. I personally wish to thank all those who work tirelessly to ensure AJSE maintains the highest possible leadership in our vital field.
Happy reading and best wishes to all.
Michael Arthur-Kelly
Joint Editor-in-Chief, AJSE
