Call for the Theme and Team for Issue 10 of The Learner Development Journal

Each issue of the Learner Development Journal (https://ldjournal.ld-sig.org) is led and edited by a different team of editors who are enthusiastic about exploring a particular learner development theme with other practitioner-researchers. You then put together a short proposal to bring together a group of contributors with shared interests in exploring that theme together over 12-18 months – a Community of Practices approach with plenty of support and reflective space for sharing and developing inquiries and writing together.

For full details and guidelines about putting together a proposal, see https://ldjournal.ld-sig.org/guidelines-for-editors. If you have any questions or would like to check any details along the way, just email us at ldjournaljsg@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
