Educational Journals
The June
13, 2003 issue of The Partnership
Help Desk focused on the professional organizations which serve
as a source of guidance, inspiration, collegiality, and curriculum
standards. For this issue, we'll focus on the professional journals they
provide. Many are free with membership, some are delivered online, and all are a source of
information and inspiration! I have included here only those journals that
deliver at least a part of their content through the Web - most (but not
all) do. Take a few minutes over the winter break to
research these important resources. Of course, the best idea is to join, and
subscribe!

Publications and Journals |
http://www.nmsa.org/
Middle School Journal is a publication of the National
Middle School Association, and features research, policy, and professional
development articles on the middle school movement. It's published five
times yearly, and selected articles are published online. Since NMSA's
website is framed, you must browse to the journal's online presence using
the "Services and Resources" link. For quick, easy-to-read
articles on middle school interests, don't miss  Middle
Matters, a completely online e-zine published three times yearly.

 NEA
Todayhttp://www.nea.org/neatoday/
As you might expect, this national teacher professional
organization features articles from a teacher advocacy perspective. The
current month (December, 2003) focuses on surviving a lawsuit. The entire
periodical is published online, so you don't have to join to read these
timely and insightful articles!

Phi Delta Kappa is a public education advocacy
organization, and The Kappan features articles by some of the most

This is the flagship periodical from the National

versions aimed at middle and high schools, respectively. Leading
articles are published online each month. NASSP also offers the

online), and several other publications.
 Principal

The National
Association of Elementary School Principals publishes this
K-8-aimed periodical. Members of NAESP can access articles in their
entirety online, but lead articles are open to all. Especially nice
is the "Printer friendly" option, which presents each page
in a much more printable form. There are a variety of other
publications, including the e-newsletter Before the Bell.

Music
http://www.menc.org/publication/articles/journals.html

educators offered by the National
Association for Music Education include Music Educators
Journal, aimed at music education policy and current trends, and
Teaching Music, a hands-on resource for music teachers.
Feature articles are offered online. [Although the National

Education, no part of it is available online.]

online in PDF format by subscription, but many articles and at least one entire edition
are offered for free as samples. [None of the publications of the American

elementary/middle-aimed Language Arts, Voices from the Middle,
and high school English Journal) are offered online to subscribers,

University offers English

journal, plus a few features. |

subscription, but members of NCTM can purchase individual articles from
journals to which they are not subscribed. |
