Submissions
The editors are currently soliciting articles written by researchers, practitioners, policy makers, graduate students, and others interested in promoting scholarly dialogue about effective educational partnerships making a positive impact on student learning, teacher and administrator working conditions, the preparation of teachers or other educational leaders, and the policies and practices influencing educational partnerships. We are especially interested in receiving submissions for forthcoming issues that include the following:

Promising practices: Original manuscripts presenting best practices or policies supporting those practices providing meaningful, thought-provoking discussions linked to underlying theories or theories-in-action that guided the development and enactment of the practices or policies. Preference will be given to rich descriptions offering insights to assist others who wish to adapt or replicate these practices.
Open forum: Current reviews of relevant topics, original book reviews, and publishable interviews with leading scholars, policy makers, or practitioners.
