Letter from NCDE (May 27, 2009)

Dear Developmental Education Colleagues,Are you seeking a research and publishing tool to support your campus’s developmental educational programs? Research in Developmental Education (RiDE), published by the National Center for Developmental Education four issues per volume in a single article newsletter format, is an effective tool providing supportive evidence for your programs. Sample articles can be found at www.ncde.appstate.edu/ride/htm.Volume 22, Issue 3, entitled “Developmental Education: A Study of Print News Reporting” by Hunter R. Boylan, Connie Carringer, D. Patrick Saxon, and Cate Shiles was also a topic for presentation at the 2009 NADE conference. This article provides information on how developmental education is viewed by the mainstream press. RiDE is available at the low cost of $15.00 per year; 2-year subscriptions are $28.00. Order forms may be found online at www.ncde.appstate.edu/order/htm.

If you are not a current NADE member, why not order the Journal of Developmental Education (JDE), $34.00 per year, $60.00 for two years, at the same time? The Journal of Developmental Education is a double-blind, peer reviewed scholarly publication featuring articles that relate implications for practice from current research and regular features. Please note NADE members receive the JDE three times a year as a member benefit. We value your support and look forward to providing you with the most current research in the field of developmental education. If you are conducting program or scholarly research and would like to submit an article to either RiDE or Journal of Developmental Education, please refer to Author’s Guidelines on their respective pages at http://www.ncde.appstate.edu/.

Sincerely,Patrick Saxon, Editor, Research in Developmental EducationNational Center for Developmental Education
