Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The overall focus of this Special Issue is to advance and enrich research on middle grade education. The scope of this Special Issue will include research on the pre-identified topics highlighted in the recently published research agenda of the Middle Level Education Research Special Interest Group (MLER SIG) (RMLE Online, under review). The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight research and evidence from scholars that address one or more of the research topics highlighted in the MLER SIG’s research agenda that could advance middle grade research (i.e., certification and licensure; curriculum; leadership; pedagogies; schools, classrooms, and learning environments; teacher development; social emotional/wellbeing; identity and experiences). This Special Issue aims to contribute to the growing body of literature on middle grade research in new and novel ways. Additionally, it has the potential to foster nuanced understanding of one or more of the areas identified for future middle grade research, with select attention placed on young adolescent development and international middle grade education.
As such, we invite manuscripts from established scholars and highly encourage the submission of independent manuscripts by others as their work pertains to the research topics identified.
