Illinois Science Teachers Association

Raymond Dagenais
Chair, Editorial Board

For a number of years, the notion of establishing an editorial board for the official publication of the Illinois Science Teachers Association, the Spectrum, has been discussed. Beginning this summer, the idea has come to fruition. Five talented and experienced science educators have accepted invitations to serve as editors for the journal. The editorial focus areas and their editors are listed below.

These Focus Area Editors will solicit, review, and recommend articles addressing the different disciplines of science as well as articles that cover the many aspects of science education in their focus areas. This new configuration of support for the Spectrum will result in a wider variety of articles that focus on different levels of the educational system. Each issue of the Spectrum will have material that expands our understanding of science and science education as well as ideas that can be used in classrooms at differing levels. Those individuals interested in submitting articles to the appropriate focus area editor should follow the Publication Guidelines listed on the next page and on the ISTA Web Page at: http://www.ista-il.org/resources/spectrum-journal.

Welcome to our Focus Area Editors!
