Call for Connection Newsletter Articles
The Professional Development welcomes ESP members to submit articles to be considered for publication in the ESP Connection Newsletter. Article submissions will allow members to share programs, research, and/or professional development topics to heighten awareness of new, timely and innovative ideas. In addition, they will provide an opportunity for members to learn new things, make connections, build networks for program replication, and/or develop multi-state collaborations.
The Connection Newsletter is published six times per year on odd numbered months (January, March, May, July, September & November). Articles will be accepted on an on-going basis and will be peer-reviewed based on the criteria below. One to three articles will be included in each issue of the Connection Newsletter. In the future our plans are to have all articles archived on the website in a searchable database for members to view.
Accepted articles will be published as review time and space permits. The author will be notified if article is accepted. Recommended article length is 300 words or less. Longer articles may be considered with a cap of 450 words maximum. To submit an article to be considered for publication, please complete the article submission form at the bottom of this page.
