DEI Corner: Introducing the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee: Our Purpose and What it Means for Manuscript Submissions & Reviews

Toward the goal of publishing high-quality case studies and related research, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee of the Journal of Case Learning and Exceptional Learners (JCLEL) created guidelines for authors and reviewers. These guidelines focus on presenting cases with clear and balanced descriptions, as well as utilizing bias-free language so that students from traditionally marginalized backgrounds are represented in respectful and inclusive ways. Additional components specific to intervention-based case studies are also addressed, including the social validity of the intervention. Rubrics are included to be used by prospective authors as they prepare manuscripts for submission, as well as by reviewers. Information is also provided on how to join the DEI Committee and become a reviewer for JCLEL.
