Focus: Significant challenges face educators as we enter the first decade of the 21st century. High-stakes testing and the standards movement present challenges to teachers, administrators, students, and parents as each group seeks ways to successfully navigate through the effects of policy decisions in education. Curriculum issues at the secondary level, including reading and writing across the disciplines, capture our attention as we struggle with questions of authenticity, standards, interdisciplinary and integrated approaches to teaching and learning, and content specific curriculum. Such increasingly complex issues at the secondary level create the need for opportunities for educators to contribute to a vital professional conversation. We invite articles that that address current theory, research, and practice with clear relevance to current issues at the secondary level. Articles may inlclude reports of empirical research, case studies, innovative teaching practices grounded in research, or evidence-based commentary papers advocating for a particular action agenda. Who May Submit: Educational researchers, teachers, teacher education faculty, middle and high school counselors, psychologists, and administrators. Please identify your submission with keyword: SECONDARY Submission deadline: any time until the end of November 2008; see details for other deadline options like early, regular, and short.
