Call for Papers – 2013/2014

**With the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday the deadline for submissions has been extended to December 7, 2013**

Dear Members and Friends of the Society of Professors of Education,

The Society of Professors of Education scholarly papers to be presented at the SPE meeting during the AERA Annual Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Thursday, April 3 – Monday, April 7, 2014.

Founded in 1902, the Society of Professors of Education (SPE) is a professional and academic association open to all persons engaged in teacher preparation, curriculum studies, educational foundations, and related activities. The Society’s primary goal is to provide a forum for consideration of major issues, tasks, problems, and challenges confronting professional educators. SPE is an interdisciplinary organization. Its members include both scholars and practitioners in education.

We welcome paper proposals related to the education of children, teachers, administrators, professors, adults, policy makers, and the public at large.

Proposals should identify the rationale and summarize the substance of the paper being offered for review. Proposals should not exceed 1500 words.

You do not need to be a member of the Society of Professors of Education to submit a proposal (although you will be required to join should your paper be accepted).

The deadline for proposals is: 7 December 2013. Proposals should be sent via email to: Jim Garrison at wesley@vt.edu.

Submitters will be notified whether or not their paper was selected no later than 21 January 2014.

**With the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday the deadline for submissions has been extended to December 7, 2013**

 

Reviewers

In addition to submitting your work, another way that you can help the Society is to volunteer as a proposal reviewer. The review process will take place soon after the deadline.

Society of Professors of Education Book Award

BOOK AWARDS

Chair: Pamela Konkol pamela.konkol@cuchicago.edu

Nominations for 2023 have already closed, but nominations for 2024 can begin now. Reviewers consider how well each text, among other attributes, assists readers in understanding the relationship between education and the social complexities in which schools are contextualized and in fostering inquiry into the history, current status, and future alternatives of teaching, learning, and education. You do not have to be a member of the SPE to nominate a text, and self-nominations/publisher nominations are welcome. The review process is competitive. SPE hopes that winners who are not yet members will choose to support the organization through membership.  Texts must have been published in 2022, 2023, or 2024 to be considered. Nominations will be until through October 1, 2023, as our reviewers need time to read, contemplate, and review.

Please contact committee chair pamela.konkol@cuchicago.edu with the book title, author email, and publisher contact; Pamela is happy to answer questions about review criteria and what makes for an “outstanding” book as defined by the SPE. Too, SPE has a great panel of reviewers, but there is always room for more! Please consider volunteering to review a text or two.
