The mission of JOSEP is to publish research-to-practice articles for special education faculty. We believe that research should drive the design and delivery of special education faculty's coursework and practicum experiences for preservice teachers. With effective and abundant practice opportunities,  faculty can ensure that future special education teachers are entering the field profession ready to enhance the academic and social/emotional outcomes of all students.
