What EdCal stories were you reading in 2023?
January 29, 2024
ACSA members wanted to know why special educators are burning out, what professional development events are coming up and who was honored in the association’s prestigious awards program.
They found the answers in EdCal.
These were just a few of
the most viewed and most shared stories from the digital edition of EdCal during the calendar year 2023.
The digital edition of EdCal is published online the same day as the print edition. Although there is no way to track readership of articles in print, the digital edition provides an idea of which articles are resonating with members, said EdCal Editor Michelle Carl.
“It’s interesting to look at this data each year, but I’d also love to hear directly from our members,” she said. “Readers are welcome to drop me a line to let me know what types of articles and features you’d like to see more of in the future.”
ACSA members are also encouraged to share EdCal articles they find interesting or helpful with their colleagues on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and via e-mail using the convenient share buttons below the headline of each article.
In 2023, the digital edition of EdCal was given a fresh look, improving responsiveness, updating design elements and providing even more creative ways to present content. This included a more visually dynamic home page, a contemporary color palette and a minimized header.
One of the many benefits of ACSA membership, members automatically receive the print subscription of EdCal and Leadership magazine. ACSA members who would like to switch to the digital-only subscription to EdCal and Leadership magazine can e-mail memberservices@acsa.org and request to become a digital subscriber.
“Thank you to everyone who wrote articles or sent in pictures of the amazing work they did in 2023,” Carl said. “All ACSA members are invited to help drive the conversation in education by contributing to EdCal.”
Members interested in submitting articles, photos or research dissertations to EdCal may send pitches or completed articles to mcarl@acsa.org. Visit acsa.org/submitcontent for more information on contributing to ACSA’s three publishing platforms: EdCal, Leadership magazine and the Resource Hub.
