About this journal
Aims and scope
The New Educator is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal published by The School of Education of The City College of New York ( https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/education) and The Association of Teacher Educators (ATE) ( http://www.ate1.org/ate-publications). It is published by Taylor & Francis/Routledge.
Focusing on the knowledge created through practice and the challenges of building and sustaining professional community in the education of new educators, The New Educator serves as a forum on issues that teacher educators, teacher education programs, and school systems encounter in the preparation, recruitment, induction, retention, and ongoing support of educators new to the field. Defining "educator" broadly to include classroom teachers, administrators, counselors, support staff, teacher educators, and those who educate outside of school settings, the journal is particularly interested in work that links theory with practice, is generated through practice, is useful and accessible to the field, and reflects the needs and perspectives of the diverse communities served by educational institutions in this new century.
The New Educator features research articles, essays, commentaries, reports, program descriptions, reflective narratives, humor, interviews, photos, and book reviews. Themes addressed in ongoing issues include: Preparing educators for the 21st century - meeting the challenges; standards, assessment, and accountability for educators; responding to the challenges of diversity in our schools; lessons from effective classrooms in PreK-12 schools as well as teacher education programs; education educators for democratic practice; leadership for learning; the first year of teaching; educating educators for diverse settings - after-school programs, museums, juvenile detention centers, etc. Past issues have featured the work of Marilyn Cochran-Smith, Linda Darling-Hammond, Karen Hammerness, Jamila Lyiscott, Ernest Morrell, Marianna Souto-Manning and other well-known as well as emerging scholars.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.

Guidelines for The New Educator Guest-Edited Journal Submissions
Guest editors are responsible for the submission, review, revision, and acceptance process with the assistance of the editor and associate editors. The journal should be completely themed with 6-7 articles.
Prospective guest editors must submit a formal proposal for a special issue with the following information:
- A succinct statement of intent. Describe the nature and scope of the topic to be covered, its importance and/or uniqueness to the literature on issues that are explicitly related to the focus of The New Educator (please see the journal's aims and scope).
- A bulleted list of topics for articles that would fit within the theme. These would connect the theme of the proposed issue to the focus of The New Educator.
- The prospective editor's (s') CV(s).
- A call for manuscripts and description of a peer review process. The call should include the journal's mission, a link to the journal's website with other information for authors, and the review process must entail at lease two anonymous reviews through the ScholarOne manuscript system.
- A timeline. The editors will provide specific timeframes for distributing the call for manuscripts, recruiting authors and reviewers, reviewing submissions, and if accepted, guest editors will be required to complete the following steps:
- Conduct an anonymous peer review process (at least two qualified reviewers) through ScholarOne.
- Submit a revised timetable projecting the sequence by which guest editor(s) will solicit, expect receipt, and perform preliminary editing of manuscripts, ending in submission of all materials to TNE at least three (3) months prior to issue date (month).
- Obtain firm commitments from prospective authors, along with abstracts (250-300 words) of their proposed articles, and brief biographical/contact information on each contributor.
- Submit a guest editorial (4-8 page) describing the guest editor(s) intent in presenting the articles, addressing the issue at hand, and/or summarizing the article themes.
- Assist the TNE Editors in obtaining the cooperation of authors during the manuscript preparation process (e.g., following up on editor inquires about manuscripts, copy-editing and prompting authors to return copy-edited articles, galley corrections, and release forms in a timely fashion, etc.).
Prospective guest editors should note that though a proposal may be acceptable as a whole, individual articles may be deemed unacceptable upon review by the TNE Editors. Thus, the journal retains the privilege of recommending to guest editors that an invited article(s) be rejected should it fail to meet TNE standards of quality, clarity, or scholarship, or require inordinate editing to bring it up to standard or style.
