NACTA Journal Update
December 2020
Reminder* Call for Special Edition Articles
The pandemic disruption that has taken place in the last few months is resulting in unprecedented, abrupt changes to remote teaching for many NACTA instructors. The NACTA Journal will feature a special issue, to be released in early 2021, focusing on how the transition was implemented, student perceptions of the transition, and lessons learned in the transition process. Manuscripts should be submitted through the normal process by December 31, 2020.
Please refer to the instructions for authors posted on the NACTA website. If NACTA members prefer, they can write a Teaching Tips article (not reviewed) following the instructions on the NACTA Website.
