Message from the Editor

Hello colleagues! The OJTE is embarking on some new directions beginning with this issue! This is the first issue that will searchable via Google Scholar and other data bases internationally. This marks an important moment for our journal. This has been a team effort and I would like to all who have participated in this process. The Ohio Journal of Teacher Education continues to serve an important publication reminding all in the field that evidence and data drive what determines ‘best practices’ not what outside groups and institutions impose or dictate to us. This edition has five articles of varying topics that serve to further our fields journey towards practice that ultimately benefits the students our teachers are serving. Enjoy! Peace, Thomas Knestrict, Ed.D. Editor of OJTE
