Hello Process Educators! As the new Chief Editor of the International Journal of Process Education, I would like to introduce myself. I am a Professor of Economics at SUNY Cortland in New York. I am a past President of the Academy of Process Educators and have been involved with the IJPE since its inception. I am excited to continue to expand the journal’s success that occurred thanks to IJPE founding editor Jacqueline El-Sayed.

The fourth edition of the IJPE is available online HERE  for you to explore the latest contributions to the scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Among the many quality articles in this edition of the journal, you can read how to enhance the success of first year students through the incorporation of Process Education, view concept maps of the Transformation of Education while moving from the profile of a red educator to green educator, and a rubric for quantitative problem solving that could be incorporated into your courses!

I also urge you to take advantage of this venue as an outlet for your scholarship on Teaching and Learning. Guidelines for submission can be found online at: http://www.processeducation.org/ijpe/index.htm
