Call for Research Papers: Gradient Voices in Education
type: item
description: Special Issue Title: Gradient Voices in Education: Narratives, Life Stories, and Autoethnographies on Race, Language, and Identity NEW ABSTRACT DEADLINE: March 8, 2025 (11:59PM MST) Guest Editors: Tipsuda Chaomuangkhong, Arizona State University, tchaomua@asu.edu Dr. Jaclyn Naster, Basehor-Linwood Middle School, jnaster@usd458.org Special Issue Information: In a time where Critical Race Theory and Social-Emotional Learning bans have been enacted or proposed across over 18 states (Sawchuk, 2021), it is more important than ever to highlight the rich diversity of voices that contribute to educational spaces. This issue will amplify stories that emphasize the ongoing need for equity, inclusion, and support for marginalized communities in education (Yosso, 2005). The Current Issues in Education journal invites submissions for a Special Issue focused on life stories and narratives of individuals with layered identities in education. This issue aims to highlight the voices of marginalized groups—including, but not limited to, people of color, bilingual individuals, immigrants, first-generation students, Queer individuals, women, and mothers—to explore how their unique experiences shape learning, teaching, and educational practices. Qualitative inquiry is a powerful tool for understanding how race, language, and identity intersect within the personal and professional experiences of educators, students, parents, and community members (Adams et al., 2015; Ellis et al., 2011). This Special Issue will create a platform for these lived experiences, offering insights into resilience, identity formation, and the challenges of navigating educational spaces shaped by systemic inequities (Crenshaw, 1991). This publication welcomes a variety of writings beyond the traditional qualitative methods in order to provide access to the varied voices that exist beyond academia. Scope and Topics This special issue seeks diverse contributions that delve into the complexities of education as inf…

CIE is now indexed in ERIH PLUS
type: item
description: We are very glad to share that our journal has been indexed in ERIH PLUS, the European Reference Index for the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). ERIH PLUS is a database that helps journals increase their visibility and discoverability. This great news represents an exciting milestone for our journal. We have worked very hard to keep consolidating it as a high-quality venue for educational researchers who seek to publish their work in open access, and as a learning space for doctoral students interested in developing their skills as editors and reviewers. The inclusion of CIE in ERIH PLUS will allow us to reach an international audience and invite fellow researchers from Europe and worldwide to submit their contributions to keep advancing the knowledge in education.

description: Dear Readers, Greetings from the editorial team at Current Issues in Education (CIE)! As we present the third and final issue of 2021, I want to share about our growth as an editorial team as well as reflect on the year. CIE is one of the longest running open access journals in the field of education, managed entirely by doctoral students - a distinction that is quite rare in the world of publishing. This third issue completes the 22nd volume. The new editorial team came into its own both in terms of its internal workings and external orientation during 2021. In addition to overseeing the peer review and publication of manuscripts, in February, we presented “Open Access is a Matter of Inclusion - Lessons from a Graduate Student Editorial Board” at the Virtual Unconference on Open Scholarship Practices in Education Research, highlighting how our focus on inclusion drives our policies and practices. In October during International Open Access Week, we organized a webinar spearheaded by Ivonne Lujano Vilchis, one of our associate editors. And in between, we continued to organize reviewer training workshops for new reviewers. Internally, the editorial team further streamlined the journal’s policies and procedures. We are especially pleased to announce that our journal has been indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Our efforts are reflected both in the quality and quantity of the submissions we have been receiving over the past year. Volume 22, Issue 3 exemplifies the high standards that we have set for our contributors, readers, and ourselves. The articles in this issue cover a wide variety of topics that are relevant and current in educational research, ranging from in-school to out-of-school educational contexts, from students to teachers, university faculty and administrators, and from learning standards and other cognitive parameters to non-cognitive and affective factors and their role in education. In “More than a Babysitter: Looking Back on an …

description: Dear Readers, The academic year is coming to an end in most parts of the world, and CIE is publishing its second issue of the 22nd volume. While the global pandemic continues to impact education, it remains important to reiterate certain fundamentals of high-quality education, including issues of social justice and equity. As recent racial and health injustices have been yet again highlighted, there is an ongoing need to understand curriculum from diverse and critical perspectives. Another equally significant aspect of education is aesthetic education, as has been emphasized by educational philosophers like John Dewey, Eliot Eisner, and Maxine Green, among others. However, it is yet to receive sustained attention from policy makers and curriculum developers. Decades ago, Green (2001) pointed out that an aesthetic education helps enlarge curricular possibilities in the classroom, through an “active, energetic reaching out” that “combats boredom and banality” (p. 182). Perhaps at no time in our recent history has this been more important than during the present uncertain times of the pandemic. Given this context, authors Saxe and Wilson foreground as well as integrate social justice with aesthetic education. They provide a framework that allows teachers to implement curricular changes using educational criticism and connoisseurship models; their research focuses on the practices of a high school English teacher. The authors contend that such curriculum allows for greater empathy in students and a way for teachers to integrate their beliefs with their curricular practices. Maxine Green also points to the role that an aesthetic education plays in fostering inclusion and diversity, in understanding curricular readings from different cultural perspectives. The second article highlights the issue of diversity through its focus on dual-language education. Kandice Grote and her colleagues show the parallels between two different constructs: growth mindset and bilingual cogni…

Vol 22 No 1 (Special Issue) Shaping the Futures of Learning in the Digital Age Part 2
type: item
description: This final installment of the ShapingEDU special issue was inspired by the concept of a “sibling” body of work to compliment the first publication installment. The themes of both bodies of work overlap in their calls to action, yet each article stands solidly on their own. Educators, learning designers, and education leaders have felt the responsibility of helping to usher in the right solutions that will spur student engagement, inclusion and success. Eleven articles unpack the various intertwined journeys we must embark on together to bolster digital equity and inclusion, to recognize all forms of learning and to spur an even more harmonious connections between our institutions and the workforce of the future.

Editorial: Welcome to Issue 21(3)
type: item
description: Dear Readers, Welcome to the Fall 2020 issue of our journal – Current Issues in Education. We are a new editorial team, with dreams of enhancing the quality and reach of the journal, and the articles in this issue are evidence that our journey is well underway. We are consolidating our editorial and review processes and policies (i.e. CIE ethics policy). We are also brainstorming for special issues and global outreach as we continue to disseminate high-quality research articles. The current volume of CIE provides diverse perspectives that contribute significantly to the field of educational research. The articles address a wide range of issues: from identity development in beginning urban teachers, to collaboration amongst middle school teachers, to the internationalization of faculty in university settings. Based on research with new teachers, Kate French provides pointers for teacher induction in the context of educating for social justice. Liz Bergeron explores the nuances of collaboration among teachers, identifying a possible relationship between age and teacher beliefs. Based in Chile, Daniela Véliz and colleagues highlight the challenges faced by international academics in striving universities and suggest developing institutional support systems. We look forward to continuing on this exciting journey with you – our authors, readers, reviewers and well-wishers. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Marina Basu Lead Editor, on behalf of the CIE Editorial Team

Vol 21 No 2 (Special Issue): Shaping the Futures of Learning in the Digital Age
type: item
description: The ShapingEDU community was established in 2018, with a call to action for a global gathering of Dreamers, Doers and Drivers. This diverse group came together and began to form a new vision for the pathways to the future of a more connected and relevant global approach to education. Emerging from this group was the vision that learning and teaching are inherently human activities, and that even in an increasingly digital and regulated world, all learning should support and enhance our development as people, communities, and societies. Over the coming months, we will be releasing the special issue articles in installments that capture specific calls to action for shaping the future of learning in the digital age. This first installment underscores the vitality of humanizing learning, no matter what form it takes. Making learners feel welcome, embracing inclusive practices,and leading with authenticity are core to helping learners thrive. It is in this same spirit that we welcome you, special issue readers, to dream big with us. Special Issue Vol 21 No 2: https://cie.asu.edu/ojs/index.php/cieatasu/issue/view/49

Editorial: Welcome to Issue 21.1
type: item
description: Dear readers, authors, and contributors to Current Issues in Education, The Winter of 2019 and Spring of 2020 arrived with unexpected challenges for all of us. Through these challenges, a steadfast team persisted to relaunch Current Issues in Education. This issue is the result of a sustained community effort and we would like to thank several people who have made this issue possible: Neelakshi Tewari, Education Policy and Evaluation doctoral student for leading the journal through the hiatus and helping to generate community interest around the relaunch. Dr. Stephanie McBride-Schreiner, Scholarly Communications Publication Manager, for her institutional knowledge of the journal and publication support. The Office of Innovation and Scholarship for providing technical support to the journal. Specifically, Dr. Punya Mishra for his enthusiastic support of the relaunch and Dr. Clarin Collins for her assistance with organizing the review-a-thon. Dr. Mirka Koro, Director of Doctoral Programs for providing doctoral student support. Dean Carole Basile for her continuing support of open access scholarship in the college. While the journal was on hiatus, a backlog of manuscript submissions had accumulated. In mid-December 2019, 30 students, faculty, and staff members at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College volunteered to participate in a one week “review-a-thon.” During this time, manuscripts were sent out for anonymous peer review and reviewers had one week to read and provide feedback. After the week had passed, we held a virtual and in-person review-a-thon where reviewers had an 8-hour window to submit their decisions and feedback. The timely participation was phenomenal. We would sincerely like to thank the review-a-thon volunteers (who are named at the end of this introduction) for their thoughtful and timely feedback. This model worked so well, that we are considering it for a standard review practice moving forward. On the topic of moving forward, we would like to formally…

Hiatus - General Submissions

description: IMPORTANT NOTICE: As you probably know, the past few years, CIE went through a major restructuring and migration to an updated publishing platform which slowed down our processing time significantly. We are currently engaged in a re-structuring and re-envisioning of the journal which is slowing down the process as well. It is for this reason that we will not be accepting any new general submissions until further notice. With respect to your submission, we apologize for any inconvenience these delays may have caused to you. We value your scholarship as well as your time, and do not wish to hold up your publication plans. If you submitted a manuscript between January 2018 and the present, please check your email inbox for additional communication.

Editorial: Welcome to Issue 19.3
type: item
description: Dear readers, authors, reviewers, and other visitors of the CIE website, As we are opening our Fall issue 19(3), the first article in which will be published soon, we are excited to announce more details about the restructuring of the journal: The relationship between the journal and the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College (MLFTC) has been formalized in a new charter. The implementation of the changes outlined in this charter is spearheaded by the Teachers College Doctoral Council (TCDC). The first step in this process is the creation of a new CIE Advisory Board, which will consist of four MLFTC faculty members and three MLFTC doctoral students, and select the journal's new editorial staff. In October, the Advisory Board and editorial staff members will be announced and the editorial staff will distribute a call for papers for issue 20(1) in the Spring, along with an update regarding submission guidelines and other new policies and procedures. In the meantime, you can find CIE's already revised focus and scope under the policies section of the "About" tab of our website. If you have any questions about the restructuring process, the upcoming call for papers, or other topics, please submit your question(s) using the following Google form: https://goo.gl/forms/IHSi5Acg6A2IXcrp1. The new CIE Editorial Board will contact you with answers and additional information as soon we have finished the restructuring process. In the meantime, authors and reviewers of manuscripts currently in the review or editing processes should continue to communicate with the editors they have been working with. If you are looking for an article from the CIE archives and find it missing, it means that it has not been moved to our new website yet. In this case, please send an email to cie@asu.edu and we will expedite the process of making the article available again. Note that only emails containing questions about the archives and manuscripts currently under review/in editing will be answered when…

2014 Annual Report

description: Current Issues in Education 2014 Annual Report Dear authors, reviewers, and readers of Current Issues in Education: The 2014-2015 CIE editorial staff would like to thank you and express their gratitude and appreciation to everyone who helped to make our Volume 17 with its three issues in 2014 possible. Current Issues in Education would not exist or function without the commitment of many people who volunteer their time to the everyday procedures as well as the long-term future of the journal. As we transition into the 2015 publication year and prepare to open Volume 18, we would like to reflect on the past year, which was full of changes for the journal. To reflect on and account for the journals development in more detail, we have also decided to expand our annual Highlights to an Annual Report. In the following, you will find information on Overview of Developments Submission and Publication Rates Time to Publication Impact and Visibility Google Analytics Academic Conferences Social Media Indexing Participants Goals for 2015 General Overview of Developments 2014 was a year of marked changes  some planned, some unexpected  for Current Issues in Education. We had to say goodbye to many long-standing members of the editorial staff, among them most notably Executive Editors Melinda Hollis and Elizabeth Reyes, as well as Assistant Executive Editor Kevin Raso, due to graduation and other positive academic reasons. We wish them all the best as they tackle the next steps in their careers. Melinda in particular was invaluable for the journal in her years of excellent leadership, providing stability and continuity, starting new initiatives, and setting a high standard for journal management and professionalism. Constantin Schreiber took over as Executive Editor at the beginning of 2014 and, after the departure of Co-Executive Editor Elizabeth Reyes in August 2014, currently is the only Executive Editor (typically, two Executive Editors work side to side).

EPAA Call for Papers II
type: item
description: Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA) has just released a special issue on “The Future of Educational Research Journals.” The drive for “world class universities,” and the spread of research quality assessment exercises, foretell a contradictory future for higher education. On the one hand, globalization increases the contact and sharing of information, values, and questions, and it promotes competition. Globalization may thus promote greater productivity on shared research agendas. However, there are unintended consequences in the promotion of a unified language of scholarship (usually English), and the concomitant promotion of certain research journals, which are sometimes even awarded "points" in research assessment exercises. One consequence is that nearly all “ranked” journals are published in N. America and Europe. More worrisome, the drive for "world class" research courts homogenization if non-English literatures, and topics not of world-wide interest, lose out in a publishing regime that rewards “international” scholarship above all else. By awarding lower assessment scores, this classification may discourage local research that is inherently difficult to communicate to English-language readers. This call for papers will explore how research assessment exercises and ranking regimes are affecting scholarly journals globally. Do scholars seek to become public intellectuals and write for The Public when they must publish in a language unintelligible to their particular publics? What topics have been lost in the move toward international scholarship? How have library budgets adjusted to the costs of the growing number of commercial journals that are charging ever higher subscription prices? How has the focus of academic research changed in recent years as a consequence of these trends? About the Journal: Celebrating its 20th year, EPAA is a peer-reviewed, open-access, international, multilingual, and multidisciplinary journal designed for researchers, pract…

EPAA Call for Papers
type: item
description: Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA) has just released a special issue on “Politics, Policies, and Practices of Coaching and Mentoring Programs”. Under relentless pressure to improve student achievement many states and districts have turned to coaching as a policy lever to catalyze instructional change. With the intent of improving instruction, coaching is used as a lever to increase teachers’ knowledge and skills related to a reform. In many coaching initiatives, coaches are uniquely positioned as intermediaries in the education system. At the district-level, coaches interact with central office administrators around instructional materials, testing, and budgetary issues. At the school-level, coaches can support teachers inside and outside of their classrooms. As instructional leaders, coaches and mentors help set a vision for instruction at their site and often play a role in managing student data. More research is needed on the policies structuring coaching and mentoring programs, as well as the implementation of these programs. We lack an understanding of coaches’ role in the dynamics of change, including how their position as intermediaries influences their reform work. We know little about the relationship between forces from the macro-level and coaches or the relationship between coaches’ power and position and their interactions with teachers. Furthermore, more empirical studies are needed that compare the implementation of various coaching models and that consider how a single coaching model is enacted across multiple contexts. Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA) announces a call for papers for a special issue exploring coaching with the goal of speaking to policymakers, reformers, and educators and will contribute to broader discussions about the potential of policy levers to improve classroom practice and educational outcomes. Research papers using interdisciplinary or mixed media (images/audio/video clips) formats are highly encouraged. About …

description: Dear authors, reviewers and readers of Current Issues in Education: On behalf of the 2013 CIE editorial team, we want to thank you all for contributing to an outstanding publication year in 2012. The purpose of this highlights report is to thank all of the people who make our publication possible and to share some of CIE's process and publication information from 2012.
