[Assessment 651] Seeking article submissionsMarie Cora marie.cora at hotspurpartners.comThu Feb 8 12:03:43 EST 2007
Colleagues: Please see the following opportunity to contribute to the 2007 issue of the International Journal of Literacy and Numeracy Studies. I encourage all subscribers on the List to consider this, as the focus of the publication speaks directly to the issues that we discuss here in this forum. The editors are very much interested in seeking practitioners to contribute papers. Marie Cora Assessment Discussion List Moderator ------------------------------------------------------------ Special Issue Announcement The editors of International Journal of Literacy and Numeracy Studies are pleased to announce that Dr. Alisa Belzer of Rutgers University and Dr. Ralf St. Clair of University of Glasgow will edit a special issue of LNS to be published in 2007. This issue will focus on how national accountability systems are influencing practice at the program and classroom levels. The guest editors are seeking submissions of papers that explore the choices and compromises and the costs and benefits of increased demands for standardized accountability and reporting procedures. They are also interested in papers that document how teachers and learners are developing and maintaining "responsive" practices in this time when increasingly narrow accountability and curricular systems seem to be reducing the options open to educators and learners. They would like especially to urge practitioners to contribute, either as solo authors or in collaboration with university researchers or policy makers. Please submit papers to Dr. Belzer or Dr. St. Clair by June 30, 2007 at the latest. If you would like to contact our guest editors directly, email them at belzera at rci.rutgers.edu and/or rstclair at educ.gla.ac.uk.
