Write for the NH Journal of Education

The NH Journal of  Education, co-edited by Dr. Cara Procek and Dr. Mary E. Earick, is a collaborative publication by NHASCD and Holmes Center for School Partnerships and Educator Preparation at Plymouth State University.  Its articles are written by New England educators and nationally known authors, researchers, and presenters. 

The common thread is that the published NHJE pieces are all written in support of  NHASCD’s mission:  “To serve as a catalyst for conversation and action that inspires excellence in teaching, learning, and leading.”

Please consider submitting your own manuscript describing a local initiative that is engaging and successful for students and teachers.  This is a powerful way to share “the good news” of what’s going on in New Hampshire schools that others may not know about.  Often such articles inspire others to visit your school, learn more, and replicate or adapt your practices in their own classrooms or district.  It’s a “win-win” experience!

Review the guidelines and deadline for submissions and a list of potential topic areas.

National Assessment Governing Board Positions Open

The National Assessment Governing Board is seeking nominees for eight open board positions that will be filled in 2019. The Governing Board sets policy for the nation’s largest ongoing assessment of what U.S. students know and can do—the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as The Nation’s Report Card. The Governing Board identifies subjects to be tested, determines the content and achievement levels for each assessment, approves all test questions, and pursues innovative ways to make the results more meaningful and relevant to the public. Nominate yourself or a colleague for the Board by Oct. 31.
