Racial/ethnic variations in the polyvictimization of college women
Social scientific knowledge of the extent, distribution, causes, and consequences of various types of gendered interpersonal violence against North American college women has markedly advanced since the early 1980s. Nevertheless, major research gaps still exist, including a conspicuous absence of quantitative and qualitative data on racial/ethnic variations in female students’ polyvictimization experiences. Using results of the Campus Quality of …
Improving the Quality of Survey Data on College Campus Woman Abuse
Obtaining accurate survey data on the prevalence of woman abuse in institutions of higher education continues to be a major methodological challenge. Underreporting is difficult to overcome; yet, there may be effective ways of minimizing this problem. One is adding a supplementary open-ended question to a primarily quantitative questionnaire. Using data derived from the Campus Quality of Life Survey (CQLS), this article examines whether asking re…
Policing in an Age of Reform
Technology-Facilitated Stalking and Unwanted Sexual Messages/Images in a College Campus Community
Researchers have accumulated much social scientific knowledge about the scope, distribution, causes, and outcomes of the physical and sexual abuse of female students in North American institutions of higher learning. However, surveys of technology-facilitated stalking and the dissemination of unwanted sexual messages/images in college campus communities are in short supply. The few that have been conducted do not identify key sociological risk fa…
College Campus Sexual Assault
Since the mid-1980s, researchers across the United States have uncovered high rates of sexual assault among female college students. However, to advance a better understanding of this gendered type of victimization, and to both prevent and control this problem, the research community needs to identify its major correlates. One that is consistently uncovered in North American campus survey work is negative peer support, especially that provided by…
School-Based Teacher Learning
The theme of this issue of Journal of Teacher Education (JTE) focuses on theory, people, processes, and outcomes related to teacher learning in school-based settings. Teacher educators and researchers agree that externally driven, isolated workshops and conferences have produced little impact on inservice teacher learning and change (Gallimore, Emeling, Saunders, & Goldenberg, 2009; Hawley & Valli, 1999). In contrast, when professional developmen…
Reconceptualizing Teacher Quality to Inform Preservice and Inservice Professional Development
In the previous issue, Marilyn Cochran-Smith and Ana Maria Villegas provided Part One of two JTE articles based on their chapter in the upcoming fifth edition of the Handbook of Research on Teaching (Cochran-Smith et al., in press). Their handbook chapter presents the findings from the review of 1,500 teacher education research studies published between 2000 and 2012. Part One of the two articles described the procedures and theoretical framework…
Taking Stock in 2015
In this issue, Marilyn Cochran-Smith provides the first of two Journal of Teacher Education (JTE) articles based on her chapter in the upcoming fifth edition of the Handbook of Research on Teaching (Cochran-Smith, Villegas, Abrams, Chavez Moreno, Mills, & Stern, in press). Her handbook chapter presents the findings from the review of 1,500 teacher education research studies published between 2000 and 2012. JTE is publishing the review in two part…
Five-Year Retrospective
We have just completed 5 years as editors of Journal of Teacher Education (JTE), having published four full volumes (63-66) and part of one (62), and will hand over the privilege and responsibility to a new team from Michigan State University in the next issue. In one of our first editorials (Knight et al., 2012), we reflected on how views of teacher education research from both within and outside the profession influenced our vision for the jour…
Contextualizing Versus Internationalizing Research on Teacher Education
At our first Journal Editor's Roundtable for Journal of Teacher Education (JTE) 5 years ago at the Educational Research Association (AERA) after assuming the editorship in 2010, we engaged in discussion with various attendees about the nature of the journal and our vision for the duration of our term as editors. We received several questions about whether we accepted international manuscripts because we were perceived by many to be a unique Ameri…
Professional Development and Practices of Teacher Educators
Journal of Teacher Education's (JTE) Major Forum at the 2013 AACTE Annual Meeting (Knight, Edmondson, Hollins, Imig, & Gitomer, 2013) focused on the current and future preparation of educators. The topic attracted a large audience and the presenters generated a great deal of interest among attendees. However, from questions and comments, it was clear that while some in the audience considered teacher education a separate area of study, others con…
Performance Assessment of Teaching
Recent challenges concerning the quality of teachers and the programs that prepare them have resulted in responses from professional organizations that have been more widespread and intense than in the past (Robinson, 2011; Wiseman, 2012). The Blue Ribbon Panel on Clinical Preparation (BRP) formed by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the merger of NCATE and Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) into…
Taking Stock in 2014
In preparation for JTE's Major Forum at the 2014 AACTE Annual Meeting, Taking Charge of Change, the editorial team engaged in a series of discussions about their perceptions of change in the teacher education knowledge base over the past 10-15 years. We noted that the intended goal of several major reports published during this time period was to impact the nature and quality of education research in general and teacher education research in part…
Research as a Catalyst for Change
Throughout our editorship, we have emphasized the goal of bringing together the three dimensions of teacher education-practice, policy, and research--to address issues or challenges faced by stakeholders in the field (see Editorials 63:1 and 63:2). The theme of the upcoming 2014 American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) Annual Meeting, Taking Charge of Change, provides an opportunity to highlight the role of research to impac…
Teacher Learning and Perceptions Across the Professional Continuum
Learning occurs throughout a teacher's career and as the result of engagement with a multitude of experiences, both within and outside of formal teacher education venues. This volume of Journal of Education contains seven articles that inform the teacher education community about teacher learning across the professional continuum. Within these pages, readers will consider three studies about effective professional development for inservice teache…
Topics in Teacher Education Research
In previous editorials, we have described how criticism of the rigor and relevance of teacher education has influenced our vision for the journal. As a result, we have shared our criteria for determining the quality of manuscripts submitted to Journal of Teacher Education (JTE) and described how certain published articles exemplified these criteria (see Issues 63:1 and 64:2). However, our examples have primarily focused on improving methodology, …
Teacher Learning and Standards-Based Instruction
The topic of standards-based instruction is currently at the forefront of conversations about education at every level, including teacher education and professional development. The proliferation of state curriculum standards over the past decade and the recent development of the Common Core State (CCSS) for English/Language Arts and Mathematics as well as the release of the second draft of the Next Generation Science (NGSS) in January 2013 have …
Talking Across the Disciplines
In one of our early editorials (Volume 63:1), we noted the tendency for many teacher education researchers to submit research that has broader teacher education implications to specialized content journals--journals that may or may not be read by teacher educators. We framed this as a choice faced by faculty who walk in two university worlds--for example, science education and teacher education--about their identities as researchers. Our question…
Outstanding in the Field
Land acquisition and ownership is an important part of modern agriculture in North America. Given the unique nature of farmland as a good, this paper develops a multi-agent simulation of farmland auction markets in a Canadian context. The model is used to generate data on land transactions between farm agents to determine if a particular auction design or type is better suited to farmland transactions. The simulation uses three different sealed-b…
Beyond the Teacher Certification Program Debate
This theme issue of the Journal of Teacher Education (JTE) considers the impact of various program and policy features on teacher education and professional development. In publishing this issue, the editorial team aims to challenge the field to shift attention from general debates about traditional versus alternative certification programs toward more nuanced conversations about specific features of programs (whether traditional or alternative, …
Adding to the Knowledge Base
In our first two issues as editors of the Journal of Teacher Education (JTE), we expressed a commitment to facilitating the development of the knowledge base in teacher education while strengthening the connections among research, practice, and policy. Sharon Robinson, President and CEO of the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE), provided a guest editorial in our initial issue (JTE Vol. 62, Issue 5), which signaled the i…
Getting Our Own House in Order
Similar to our predecessors and those before them for the past decade, our editorial team has assumed leadership of the Journal of Education (JTE) in times of extreme criticism of educational research and of both preservice and inservice teacher education. Critics from within like Arthur Levine proclaim that everything is broken (Levine, 2011), that there is research into what kind of training produces successful teachers (Levine, 2011), and that…
Examining the Complexity of Assessment and Accountability in Teacher Education
The theme of accountability currently permeates conversations about education at every level, including teacher education and professional development. In our Call for Manuscripts for this theme issue, we invited empirical or conceptual manuscripts addressing assessment and accountability in teacher education that would move the community forward in considering the topics both more precisely and with greater complexity. The range of suggested sub…
Advancing Research, Practice, and Policy in Teacher Education
We are extremely pleased to have been selected as the new editors of the Journal of Teacher Education (JTE). As the flagship journal of the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education, JTE provides an outlet for important research in the field as well as a forum for theoretical and conceptual considerations of seminal topics in teacher education. The broad range of topical areas and methodologies represented in the journal; the balanced…

Putting Out The Trash
There is a considerable literature describing the performance of municipal services that often uses imperfect or partial measures of efficiency. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has emerged as an effective tool for measuring the relative efficiency of public service provision. This article uses DEA to measure the relative efficiency of 11 municipal services in 46 of the largest cities in the United States over a period of 6 years. In addition, thi…

Miguel de la Madrid on Population Policy in Mexico
Not many years ago governmental policy in demographic matters was a highly contentious issue in Mexico. This is no longer the case. Since President Lopez Portillo took office in December 1976, the responsibility of the government deal social and economic problems created by rapid population growth and other demographic processes, notably internal and international migration, has been clearly recognized and accepted at the highest political level.…

E. Dupreel on Population and Progress
Noting that the causes for declines in birth rates among developed countries are now well established the author discusses the consequences of these declines. The author argues that the conclusion of many current thinkers that an increase in the number of people is 1 of the prime causes of social development civilization and progress--indeed the original and universal cause--is not a new idea but may be found in diverse works from the previous ce…
Potential Obstacles to Internal Reform in Teacher Education
Rail Infrastructure Management Policy
Since the economic liberalization of the rail industry in North America, the industry has sought continually to increase operating efficiency. The selective abandonment of track in a rail network is one of the methods most commonly used to reduce rail costs. The issue of rail-line abandonment has proven to be more controversial in Canada than in the United States. At present, the Canadian rail regulator uses costbenefit analysis (CBA) as a decisi…

What Floats
What Floats James Nolan (bio) "She's lying down." That's what I told Miss Viola from down the block when she stopped by to see my mother. Miss Viola straightened the strap on her flowered sundress, peering through the half-opened screen door into our messy kitchen. She held a pack of Kools in one hand and looked like she expected coffee. "Jonathan," asked Miss Viola, squinting her mascaraed eyes, "is your mother sick?" "No. I mean, yes. A little.…

Acts of God James Nolan (bio) Outside, rowboats paddled up Canal Street while I was delivered howling by lantern in a hospital called Hôtel Dieu during a hurricane that knocked out New Orleans. I have a feel for rattling window panes, for rivers racing through sky, for heaven flung endlessly down. This year August ends with God banging on the door like the police. Venetian blinds clatter against glass, gusts ripple through calendar pages back to …
