NCELA Call for Papers: Teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics to English Learners

The summer 2011 issue of AccELLerate! (http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/accellerate), the quarterly review of the National Clearinghouse for English Language Acquisition, will focus on the theme of teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to English Learners (ELs). We are soliciting contributions from bilingual education, ESL, science and mathematics teachers, state and local administrators, researchers, and others who work with this population.

Topics may include (but are not limited to): promising practices for ELs in mathematics, science, engineering, and technology, including the education of gifted and talented students; professional development for STEM teachers; successful models for discovering and developing diverse STEM talent, including partnership between universities and local school districts to improve STEM instruction for ELs.

Full-length articles should be approximately 1,000 words, grounded in research, and be clearly and cogently written. Shorter articles can be of two types: Success Stories (around 500 words) describe successful projects, programs or approaches, and Teachers’ Gems of Wisdom (around 250 words) share professional insights and best practices in teaching ELs.

The deadline for submissions is April 4, 2011. Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word format by electronic mail and directed to Natalia Romanova, editor of AccELLerate! at romanova at gwu dot edu. Please provide the name, title, and affiliation of all authors, as well as a contact telephone number and an e-mail address.
