Executive Editor of the journal Dance Education in Practice, 2014-Present
Scholarly journal produced by the National Dance Education Organization and published by Taylor and Francis. First publication issued in March 2015.
Aims and Scope: Dance Education in Practice considers articles for publication focused on practical approaches to dance education and teaching that provide educators with models of new ideas, strategies, and content they can apply to their own practice. Targeted toward dance studio teachers, P-12 dance educators, postsecondary teacher education professionals, teaching artists, and dance education undergraduate and graduate students, the journal welcomes contributions that may include cross-curricular projects, standards-based models of teaching and learning, innovations in teaching technique, technological applications to dance teaching, assessment strategies, world cultures curricula, addressing needs of diverse learners through dance, professional issues, and advocacy. Articles will be concise (1000-3000 words) and communicate innovative ideas in a "how to" format. Graphics and pictures will support article content.
DEiP’s process begins with a blind screening by DEiP editorial board members. Authors whose work is chosen to move forward receive one-on-one mentoring with an editorial board member, working collaboratively to bring the article to publication readiness.
