Welcome to JoSE: The SUNY Journal of the Scholarship of Engagement. JoSE is an online peer-reviewed academic journal that provides current and future K-16 educators with evidence-based theory of, and methods and justification for, applied (experiential) learning as it relates to students' career- and civic-readiness.

JoSE values

  • Diversity of perspectives, with the understanding that open inquiry can involve questioning established ideas.
  • Interdisciplinary approaches to scholarship

JoSE invites submissions from faculty and from mentored students in areas such as:

  • Methodology.  Ways of -
    • Incorporating applied learning-based civics education in, for example, Elementary Education, STEM, Performing Arts, the Trades, and interdisciplinary settings.
    • Incorporating civics education into Teacher Education programs, so that our future teachers nestle civics education into their lesson plans - regardless of course content or grade level.
    • Using new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, in applied learning courses.
    • Conducting effective collaborations between colleges, government, business, and not-for-profit organizations.

    •  Applied learning and civics education professional development programs.
    • Co-Curricular civics education programming.
