The editorial team of Educator Perspectives invites manuscripts for potential publication in the 2025 Issue.  We seek articles that reflect and showcase a vibrant community of practice across many educational contexts.

We would like to invite contributions for our Spring 2025 issue that reflect current, relevant, innovative, and insightful research and commentary across the educational spectrum.

The editors hope to take this opportunity to explore your challenges or recent successes. Our goal is to equip our community with thoughtful articles that will amplify cultivation, sustainability, and stewardship in our profession. We value a variety of responses and insights into the shifting educational environment.
