Published on behalf of the School Science and Mathematics Association, School Science and Mathematics (SSM) has been a trusted resource for science and mathematics educators since its foundation in 1901.
We publish research on issues, concerns, and lessons within and between the disciplines of science and mathematics in the classroom.
*New for 2022* The School Science and Mathematics (SSM) Journal is developing a new section for readers focused on chronicling STEM integration in the classroom. This section, titled Innovation to Practice, provides an opportunity to build a professional knowledge base that supports, extends, and generates practitioner knowledge in science, mathematics, and STEM education. We know STEM education is effective at helping students apply disciplinary ideas, improve test scores, and increase motivation. STEM education encourages varied approaches because, just like effective teaching, there is no one right way to do STEM. This new section seeks to highlight diverse, innovative ideas and practice fromPreK to postsecondary classroom settings. As part of the SSM journal submissions this section will go through a double-blind peer review process. See further details in Author Guidelines.
