Our readers include faculty members, administrative officers, academic officers, and many other professionals concerned with educating academically at-risk college students. The JDE is published as a forum for educators concerned with the practice, theory, research, and news of the postsecondary developmental and remedial community. Its content focuses on basic skills education and includes topics such as developmental writing, developmental mathematics, reading, tutoring, assessment and placement, and program evaluation. Emphasis is placed on manuscripts that relate education theory to practical teaching and learning, expand current knowledge, or clearly demonstrate impact on the field.
The JDE is published three times each academic year in the fall, winter, and spring by the National Center for Developmental Education (NCDE) at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. Approximate mailing dates for issues are September 1, November 15, and January 25. Subscriptions are available on a one- or two-year basis. The JDE's subscriber base draws from educators throughout the United States and international institutions.
The demographics of postsecondary students have changed drastically in recent decades, and this trend shows no signs of diminishing. It is the mission of the NCDE to provide resources for educators who work with academically underprepared adults in college and university settings in order to improve the quality of practice in the field of developmental education. The JDE strives to print material responding to the growing need for information, research, and news of the field and achieve the widest possible dissemination of this information.
