The purpose of the Journal for Vocational Special Needs Education (JVSNE) is to advance the professional development of personnel in the field who are engaged in educating
students from a wide variety of special populations with an emphasis on those individuals, including educators, service providers, staff, and administrators, who provide education or training for students in preparation for the workforce and post-secondary education.Consistent with our purpose, we seek to publish articles that assist personnel who provide education or services to special population students from a diverse array of educational or training settings. Articles should be centered on one of the following objectives:
JVSNE has an open submissions policy and seeks manuscripts from the field on a wide variety of practical issues confronting special needs personnel and the individuals they serve. We encourage submissions that include multiple authors representing the diversity of professional roles within the field.
We seek to publish original work that describes: action research; research with an applied focus; specific instructional and management interventions; articles that help us understand under-represented points of view, (i.e. foster care issues, Native American education issues, incarcerated youth issue s) issues concerning service delivery, curriculum, and roles; strategies for fostering professional development; information pertaining to state and federal legislation that impact services from a variety of entities servicing special populations (i.e. vocational rehabilitation legislation, the McKinney Homeless Act, Juvenile Justice Act); and issues related to the effectiveness of workforce education and training for special populations. Manuscripts on these, as well as additional topics, will be accepted at any time.
