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
> education. Manuscripts might address themes captured in the following
> 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?

> Technology has been called "the great equalizer"-if information is power,

> In practice, it is often distributed unevenly, which can exacerbate unequal
> access to powerful democratizing tools. We are seeking manuscripts that

>
>    * How have the technological advances of the last 20 years opened
>      up our understanding of democracy, voice, and participation in
>      schools?
>    * How might technology be used to empower students-to give them
>      confidence, access to information and new perspectives, and
>      outlets to explore the world they live in?
>    * With many students spending so much time alone with their
>      computers, televisions, or portable electronics, how will

>      collaborative skills necessary in a democracy? How might
>      technology be part of that learning experience?
