Submit your strategies and classroom success stories as a guest post for our blog

Let Your Voice Be Heard

Every day, educators are exploring, learning, and striving to overcome the same classroom challenges that you face. By sharing your stories and strategies, you can help spread student-centered learning to classrooms around the world.

What If I’m Not a Writer?

We certainly appreciate solid paragraph structure and clear grammar. But we also understand that not every educator is an English teacher. If we accept your submission, our editors will polish your content, and help you sound like a seasoned pro.

What Makes a Great Guest Post?

A great guest post teaches educators something new, but it starts with a story. Your story should be personal, and should address how you or your students overcame a challenge.

Your post should be between 1000 and 2000 words. It should have a clear structure, with each section under 300 words, and containing a subheading.

We’ve found that our most popular blog posts start with a personal story that illustrates a problem. Next, they explore the problem in depth, propose a solution, and show other educators how to make that solution a reality in their classrooms.

Before submitting your post, please be sure it follows this format. Posts not following this format will not be considered.

  1. Anecdote: Tell the story of a time before you discovered the idea you are writing about. This story should help the reader feel the challenge you faced. Include plenty of details: sights, sounds, even made-up names for your “characters.”
  2. Problem: Now that you’ve shared the challenge you experienced, help us understand the problem. If the first section is about feeling your pain, this section is about analyzing the reason behind the pain. This is a good place to include links to research or authoritative articles about your topic. (You can link to universities, newspapers, or non-commercial sites like Edutopia. Do not link to any commercial or product sites).
  3. Solution: Share your solution to the problem you faced. This section can be an activity, step-by-step instructions, or a list of options. It is likely the longest section of your post. You can break this section into subheadings for clarity, keeping each section under 300 words.
  4. Helpful Tips: After learning about your solution, other teachers will want to know how to bring your idea to their classrooms. Can you link to free resources that will help them? Should they have a careful plan and stick to it? Or should they start with an idea and go with the flow. Any insight you can provide will help your readers have the confidence to try your solutions in their own classrooms.
You should include a short (30-75 word) bio that describes your background, and a link to where they can find you online (website, twitter, LinkedIn, etc). Please also submit two high resolution photos – a headshot that appears next to your bio, and an “action” shot of you in your classroom.
