JAASEP Update: New Issue, Special Issue Call, and Reviewer Invitation

Dear colleagues,

We wanted to share a few quick updates from the Journal of the American Academy of Special Education Professionals (JAASEP).

Volume 21, Issue 2 is now available.
The newest issue of JAASEP includes a range of practitioner-focused and research-informed articles centered on improving instruction, strengthening special educator preparation, and supporting students with disabilities across educational settings. Thank you to the authors and reviewers who helped bring this issue together. You can access the current issue on the JAASEP website.

Call for Manuscripts: Upcoming Special Issue
We are currently accepting submissions for an upcoming special issue of JAASEP. We welcome manuscripts from researchers, practitioners, and higher education faculty whose work addresses topics such as evidence-based practices in special education, teacher preparation and workforce development, inclusive education and transition programming, behavior supports and classroom practice, and policy or leadership in special education. Submission guidelines and information about preparing a manuscript for JAASEP can be found here: https://www.aasep.org/information/authors. We encourage you to share this opportunity with colleagues and graduate students who may be interested in submitting their work.

Interested in Reviewing for JAASEP?
As the journal continues to grow, we are expanding our pool of reviewers and editorial board members. Reviewers play an important role in providing constructive feedback to authors and helping guide editorial decisions. Most reviews are completed on a rolling basis and typically involve practitioner-focused or research-informed manuscripts related to special education.

If you are interested in occasionally serving as a reviewer or being considered for the editorial board, we would love to include you in our pool. You can indicate your interest by completing this short interest form. Please feel free to forward/share this information with colleagues in the field of special education.

The form simply asks for your name, affiliation, areas of expertise, and contact information so we can match manuscripts with appropriate reviewers.

Thank you for supporting JAASEP and for the work you do to advance the field of special education.

Warmly,

Allie Boquet, PhD, Louisiana State University
