澳门跑狗论坛

We welcome submissions from a range of perspectives within the K-12 education community. Regardless of your role in education鈥攚hether you鈥檙e a teacher, student, principal, superintendent, policymaker, education researcher or professor, parent, business leader, or anyone else deeply involved in the field鈥攚e want to hear from you.

We encourage you to read some of our recent opinion and first-person essays. (If you鈥檇 like to submit a letter to the editor, please see this page.)

Please attach the submission as a Word document to your email (preferred) or paste it in plain text format into the body of your message. Please do not send your submission as a link or .pdf file.

What we want:

• Know your audience: Submissions should be relevant to a national audience interested in pre-K-12 education news. You鈥檙e addressing teachers, policymakers, school administrators, researchers, advocates, and the broader education community鈥攐r some combination of them. Make it clear whom you鈥檙e writing for.
• Get to the point: Keep your writing clear and concise; essays longer than 1,000 words will not be considered. (Your piece also shouldn鈥檛 be too short. Do not submit essays under 600 words. Consider writing a letter to the editor instead.)
• Have a point of view: We鈥檙e not just looking for you to lay out general arguments for and against any given issue; instead, bring your own distinct perspective to the subject. Tell us how you really feel, but make sure you can back up any factual claims.
• Be solution-oriented or practical: Try to move beyond just diagnosing a problem. Classroom best practices, thoughtful policy recommendations, personal reflections on classroom experiences, productive commentary on the news, and compelling calls to action are all more useful to our readers.

What we don鈥檛 want:

• Straight news coverage or scholarly articles: Please be sure you鈥檙e offering an opinion鈥攁nd avoiding any distracting academese and jargon.
• Shameless self-promotion: Drawing on your own experiences is great, but if the essay boils down to a press release, we鈥檙e not the right publication for you. Opinion essays cannot be used for promotional purposes, and all potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed.
• Don鈥檛 rely on artificial intelligence. Your essay shouldn鈥檛 use generative AI for writing or research unless disclosed to the editors beforehand. We want to hear from you, not ChatGPT.
  

How to submit:

Please submit all essays, along with a short (1-2 sentence) bio and preferred phone number, to Opinion@educationweek.org. It is helpful if you indicate your topic in the subject line. 澳门跑狗论坛 does not typically pay for opinion essays.

We respectfully ask that you not submit to multiple news outlets simultaneously. Generally, we do not accept essays that have been published or accepted elsewhere.

We will be in touch if we think the essay is a good fit for our publication. If you do not hear from us after two weeks, please consider your essay rejected. (If you would like for your submission to still be considered, refer to the instructions in the submission acknowledgement email.)
