(PRWEB)November 28, 2003 – The Canadian Association of Principals (CAP) Journal, Canada’s most widely distributed magazine for Canadian school principals and school administrators, has had a makeover. The Journal, which is currently distributed to over 12,500 principals across the country, will have a new design layout and more informative articles for school leaders.
“This year we’ve decided to make some major changes to our publication,” says Erin McCall, Assistant Editor. The publishers have redesigned the journal and have also committed to partnering with the Canadian education research community in order to provide more timely and more informative articles for readers. In the past, the publishers have relied on interested parties to submit articles for the three yearly issues. “This year we’ve issued a call to all Canadian Faculties of Education and have asked for professors and their graduate students to send us articles on their latest work and research interests. The response has been phenomenal,” says McCall, “We’re hoping the Journal will become a place where researchers can share their findings on best practices in educational leadership with those who will use them everyday”.
For the JournalÂ’s upcoming issue on special needs education, articles have been submitted from professors at the University of Alberta, University of Ottawa, Nipissing University, and the University of Prince Edward Island.
The CAP Journal is distributed to all CAP members and to non-association members (via individual subscriptions) in September, January, and May. The publication features a mix of leadership and education topics in each issue and contains a number of regular articles (i. e. book reviews, student leadership advice, CAP news, etc.) as well as several feature articles on a selected theme (i. e. special needs education, Aboriginal education, student transitions, etc.).
The CAP Journal is made possible through the sale of advertising space. Advertisers include government bodies, non-profit groups, and producers and distributors of educational products and services for students, schools, and school administrators.
