Call for Manuscripts: Perspectives on Practice

The Mathematics Teacher Educator (MTE) invites submissions to a new article format for the journal, Perspectives on Practice. Manuscripts for Perspectives on Practice will focus on an innovation in a previously-published MTE article and describe how it was interpreted, iterated, or improved in practice. The manuscript should also provide some insights into how the changes during the enactment influenced evidence of learning, using the evidence of learning in the original article as a foundation.

Perspectives on Practice submissions are limited to 4 double-spaced manuscript pages (not including references) in length and should be submitted through the Mathematics Teacher Educator manuscript submission system. Submissions will undergo peer review by members of the editorial board to ensure high quality and consistency with the call. Accepted articles will be published with direct links to the original MTE article upon which it builds. We encourage potential submitters to be in touch with the editors with potential ideas and to submit your manuscripts at least six months in advance of the issue for which it’s intended to appear.

See the journal website, nctm.org/mte, for more information and the complete call.

MTE articles eligible for this Perspectives on Practice call are listed below. These articles were selected on the basis of three criteria: a) articles that have demonstrated significant readership; b) articles that describe an issue of immediate importance; and/or c) articles that describe an issue and intervention worth revisiting in a novel or contemporary context. Subsequent calls will include a different set of published articles.
