2015 CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS AND PUBLICATION GUIDELINES
Data from the National Center for Education Statistics (2011)
indicates that almost a third of America’s teachers leave the field
sometime during their first three years of teaching. The attrition
rate for those who enter through some alternative pathway can be as
high as 60%. New teachers cite classroom management, ESL, and lack of
preparation or support as key reasons behind their decision.
Therefore, additional training that increases new teacher confidence
and preparation is vital. Quality training for teachers entering 21st
century classrooms and appropriate instructional practices for today’s
learners is a must.
The Journal of Teaching Effectiveness and Student Achievement is
dedicated to the dissemination of research emphasizing teacher
preparation, successful school cultures, teacher quality,
instructional effectiveness, innovative pedagogy, and educational
practices with student achievement in mind.
