Teaching and Learning in (Higher) Education for Sessional Staff – TALES
 
NEW FOR EARLY 2007
 
We are pleased to announce the forthcoming refereed scholarly journal 
Teaching and Learning in (Higher) Education for Sessional Staff – TALES.
 
It seeks to publish scholarly discussion papers, research and reviews from 
a range of fields and methodologies that will contribute to the 
professional development of teaching and learning for sessional staff and 
their colleagues. A further aim is to advance awareness of the 
professional, scholarly and innovative approaches of sessional academic 
staff and the significant contribution of sessional academic staff to the 
higher education sector. 

The journal welcomes contributions from part time and continuing 
instructors, adjuncts, teaching assistants, researchers and other academic 
or administrative staff. To meet acceptance criteria, papers must add to 
the scholarship in the field, present ideas relevant to the broad higher 
education sector, and be accessible to an English-language international 
audience.

The first issue will showcase the breadth and high quality research 
possible within the journal’s aims. Possible topics for submission 
include:
 
·        Student relationships & pastoral care
·        Institutional policies & communities of practice
·        Developing an academic career
·        Peer support and collegiality
·        Induction and professional development
·        Student and staff evaluation
·        Moderation, marking and assessment
