IJWC Updates 

IJWC is now a part of the extraordinary ERIC database.  

 

Upcoming Issues 

The editorial team remains committed to supporting readers’ understanding of holistic, 

integrative, and equitable learning. In addition to primary and applied research, current technical  

information, and reflecting through photographs, look for continued information in children’s 

and families’ health and wellness, issues related to STEAM learning, and reviews of children’s 

quality literature. IJWC is exploring the potential use of video. This use of video may be 

included in an article, serve as a reflection component, or illustrate learning and instruction. 

 

New Editorial Members 

It is only through the research, expertise, and commitment of our new board members that we are 

able to expand IJWC content.  Each board member is a demonstrated scholar in their respective 

area.  

 

New Editor 

A professional welcome to Dr. Katherine Mangione who, as of the fall/2019 issue, will become 

the editor. She brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, and excitement to the IJWC editorial 

commitment. 

 

Student Scholars 

For the fall issue, Sandra J. Stone and Kathleen G. Burriss will continue to support the efforts of 

IJWC and, in particular, will edit a new section of the journal devoted specifically to student 

authors. Within an understanding of holistic and integrative learning, the editorial board assumes 

responsibility to nurture and support tomorrow’s child advocates and educational leaders. In this 

new IJWC section “Student Scholars,” masters and doctoral candidates are invited to submit 

papers for review and possible publication consideration.
