Editor's Note
A Publishing Home for Professors
As an organization, 51萝莉 has experienced what I鈥檇 consider a rather cyclical relationship with the higher education community over the years. At times, the bonds have been visibly strong in professional growth programs, our national conference, public advocacy, 51萝莉 governance and professional recognition activities. (Anyone active for the past 30 years will recall the Conference Within a Convention for university members at the association鈥檚 national conference each year.)
For all of that time, 51萝莉 has maintained a periodical to ensure research or evidence-based articles support the work of school district leaders, while providing a publishing home for university-affiliated researchers and their practitioner partners. In the 1990s, the publication was called The 51萝莉 Professor, a print newsletter. Since 2004, it鈥檚 been known as the 51萝莉 Journal of Scholarship and Practice, a digital quarterly intended for application in today鈥檚 K-12 education arena. Current and past issues can be found online.
JSP has gained new visibility and greater respect in recent years under the diligent leadership of Ken Mitchell and Barbara Dean, serving as editor and associate editor, respectively. There鈥檚 always something relevant around a contemporary theme in each new issue. So I鈥檓 hoping you鈥檒l keep this refereed journal in your sights after you鈥檝e completed your reading of this month鈥檚 School Administrator on various aspects of K-12鈥檚 connections with higher education.
