Wanted: Future Journal Themes

The Journal of Teacher Education is published five times per year, and usually one of those five is focused on a specific theme (while others are open-topic). Recent and upcoming themes touch on accountability, special education, the Common Core State Standards, and cross-disciplinary work. What topics would you like to see explored in a future themed issue?

Educational technology areas I would like to see in JTE are global education and virtual/game-based learning with pre-service teachers. Global awareness is usually cited as a 21st century skill, but how are new teachers receiving experiences in their teacher education programs? How are preservice teachers using or leveraging the research noted advantage of using games or virtual learning environments in the classroom? Terry Smith - Western Illinois University

We are a small regional campus, and would like guidance on selection, maintenance, usage, of an electronic assessment system that will meet our needs in adhering to CAEP/NCATE standards.

I would like to see a special issue focused on virtual coaching and/or virtual internships in teacher education.

Hello Colleagues,
I would like to explore the idea of a theme regarding teacher preparation for working in alternative school settings, beyond exceptionalities, and focusing on teacher preparation for working with students who require an education in a non-traditional learning environment in order to succeed. Perhaps competency-based learning is the theme.

Given the formation of a new accrediting body, I would be interested in seeing articles about the pros and cons of national accreditation, CAEP, and the need for an alternative organization.

I'd like you to follow http://puressay.com/blog/type-an-essay-who-can-help and look at the list of popular educational topics.

Due the rise in campus tragedies as a result of the actions of mentally challenged individuals, a theme on trauma-informed care practices in all k-12 schools, colleges and universities might be of interest to readers. The faculty or college or university staff person or student who has never encountered an individual with an undisclosed mental illness or behavioral disorder, might be frightened and/or take a defensive position. Knowing what to do and how to respond to such an encounter may help everyone exposed to the encounter. Not everyone knows that it might be a better idea to call 911 and request that a social worker accompany the police officer when a person is seen exhibiting extremely odd or deviant behavior. The worst could happen in a scenario where police or someone else draws a weapon on someone later discovered to be autistic. We may be in the company of students, faculty and/or staff who may be traumatized in other undisclosed ways. The theme of world-wide trauma-informed care (TIC) practice may be a trend to push.
