Childhood Education

Aims & Scope

The purpose of Childhood Education, an official journal of the Association for Childhood Education International, is to capture and disseminate information about exciting and innovative models, programs, funding approaches, practices, policies, research, and other areas that are being explored and implemented to improve the education of children around the world.

Childhood Education is published for a global audience working to create positive, sustainable futures for children and youth by seeking out and developing innovative solutions to education challenges.

Our target audience includes practitioners in schools, nongovernmental organizations, and community-based organizations as well as education academics interested in innovative ideas and practices; and global education advocates in foundations, government agencies, and businesses.

We are looking for engaging, accessible articles that explore cutting-edge thinking and emerging trends and ideas in school design, technology, education leadership, curriculum approaches, assessment improvements, education financing, and professional development.

We are particularly interested in cross-disciplinary and cross-sector solutions to specific education challenges.

Articles could describe organizations, practices, or projects that are taking truly innovative approaches to education, or they could present new perspectives on an existing practice that results in an innovative approach.

Childhood Education is intended to be an exciting and engaging publication appropriate for multiple audiences.

It uses a magazine-style approach to ensure accessibility of information to inspire action that creates positive, sustainable futures for children and youth worldwide.

Authors should consider issues of readability, using citations sparingly and only when appropriate.
