Call for Proposals: The Educational Forum: Teaching and Learning Teacher Research Special Issue
The Educational Forum is seeking articles for its Fall 2016 themed issue, “Teaching and Learning Teacher Research.”
Teacher research, practitioner inquiry, and other related forms of classroom and school-focused research are rarely taught, learned, or lived in isolation. In highlighting the interactive complexity of classroom life, such research often necessitates collaboration and shared learning among teachers, students, and other members of the educational community. However, very little has been written about how these connected and reflective dimensions are taught, learned, and lived.
For this reason, we have chosen to structure this themed issue in a specific way. The Educational Forum is seeking paired texts that explore the interconnected nature of teacher research across settings and perspectives. This call seeks paired practice-based research reports and essays written by two (or more) authors who represent different perspectives or roles within the research process, although they may share similar understandings.
Authors should prepare two joined texts: one that discusses a critical feature or principle of teaching teacher research and one that illustrates how that feature is realized or problematized in teacher research and practice. These two texts, in any order, would constitute one complete article.

Association of Teacher Educators Clinical Fellows Program
The Association of Teacher Educators is holding a special pre-conference symposium beginning Friday evening, February 10, 2017 through noon on Sunday, February 12, 2017 in Orlando, Florida. Now in its third year, the ATE Clinical Fellows program provides the opportunity for researchers and educators across the nation interested in clinically rich teacher education to discuss local work and build national momentum to place clinical experiences at the center of teacher education. In addition to general topics related to clinically rich teacher education, this year’s symposium will explore the theme—The Role of Practitioner Research in Clinically Rich Teacher Education—and include several sessions presented by nationally recognized teacher education programs related to their practitioner research work with teacher candidates and practicing teachers and principals. Diane Yendol-Hoppey will deliver the symposium keynote on the problems and possibilities inherent in creating and sustaining clinically rich teacher education.
