Mission statement:
The Nebraska Educator is an open access peer-reviewed academic education journal at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This journal is produced by UNL graduate students and publishes articles on a broad range of education topics that are timely and have relevance in the field of all levels of education. We seek original research that covers topics such as:
1. Curriculum, teaching and professional development
2. Education policy, practice and analysis
3. Literacy, language and culture
4. School, society and reform
5. Teaching and learning with technologies
Goals
The Nebraska Educator has four main goals with its published research: 1. to familiarize students with the process of publication, 2. to facilitate dialogue between emerging scholars, educators, and the larger community, 3. to promote collegiality and interdisciplinary awareness, and 4. to establish a mechanism for networking and collaboration.
