Hi Teresa and David and Sandy,

This is an announcement and call for various issues of the upcoming D&E
journal. I thought of all of you when I saw the last "Call for Papers" on
Technology and Democracy. Feel free to share with any former or current
students who may have an interest in writing re. this. Thanks. --Jaylynne

> Teachers' Voices in Today's Schools-Why Are They Critical? 
> Deadline for manuscripts: October 15, 2008 
>  
> We are seeking manuscripts that explore the role for teachers' voices in 
> today's schools and classrooms, and as part of the larger conversation about 
> education policy, democracy, and student achievement. Often teachers find 
> themselves in a contradictory position of having knowledgeable "teacher 
> voices" with their students, but having little say in other aspects of

> questions: 
>  
> * What does it mean to be an activist teacher in a democratic 
> tradition? 
> * How are school cultures set up to encourage (or discourage) 
> teachers' voices? Is there a cost associated with using your 
> "teacher voice" outside the classroom? 
> * With national, state, and district mandates, where is there room 
> for the teacher's voice? What are examples of innovative ways 
> that teachers have ensured their voices are heard?
