Theme: Professional Learning in Special Education
Manuscript deadline: October 15
Issue: April 2018

Owing largely to quantum leaps in mental health research and treatment, special education curriculum and teaching has become much more specialized in the past few decades. Keeping up with the latest innovation and applying them to professional learning is a daunting but crucial task. We’re looking for the latest stories on practical application of special education research and innovation in all applicable professional learning areas, including:

• Social emotional learning and its impact on professional learning
• The spectrum of disorders and disabilities
• Assistive technology and the challenge of finding learning expertise
• Redefining goals and success based on individual circumstances
• Resources and funding for often marginalized or overlooked fields
