International Society for Educational Planning
Welcome from the President
Our Mission
The International Society for Educational Planning (ISEP) was founded on December 10, 1970, in Washington, D.C. Over 50 local, state, national, and international planners attended the first organizational meeting.
Since then the dynamics of educational reform throughout the world have demonstrated that there is need for a professional organization with a primary focus on educational planning and policy.
The International Society for Educational Planning was established to foster the professional knowledge and interests of educational planners.
Our mission is to improve education through the application of planning processes.
This mission is elaborated through the functions of the Society.
Our Members
Our international membership is comprised of higher education faculty & administrators, school teachers & administrators, graduate students, educational planners, policy makers. researchers, leaders involved in educational planning, educational & government consultants, local government leaders, etc.
Our Journal
The peer-reviewed journal of ISEP, Educational Planning, is published quarterly and circulates to individual and institutional members in more than twenty countries.
Theoretical, empirical, and application papers are encouraged.
Membership in the society includes a subscription to the journal.
Our Conference
In the fall of each year, ISEP members meet to present and discuss papers, and to share ideas less formally. These papers are often published in Educational Planning. This is the occasion for collegial dialogue, for establishing and renewing friendships, and for professional growth.
A highly prized aspect of these conferences is the opportunity they afford for dialogue and reflection between those whose orientation to planning is primarily academic and those who carry out planning in educational and governmental institutions.
The Society is truly a meeting ground for the world of academe and the world of practice.
