SUBMISSION CATEGORIES

Feature Articles

We invite journalists to pitch ideas for our feature articles. Our editorial approach is pragmatic and how-to. The ideal article must be useful and replicable in the everyday classroom, if feasible. The topic should help teachers do their jobs better in some way or offer support. Articles must include 2–3 interview sources and they should be engaging and relevant. Interested journalists should have magazine publishing experience and familiarity with the North American education system.

For example:

Classroom Perspectives – OpEd 

Classroom Perspectives is an opinion column where teachers anywhere in the world can write informally, in their own voice, about their personal experiences with teaching. Whether that be implementing a “paperless classroom” or addressing mental health issues, we want your perspective. No journalism experience is necessary.

For example:

Teacher’s Pet

This is an opportunity for teachers to showcase their pets in the pages of TEACH Magazine. If you’d like your furry or feathered companion to be featured, please tell us their name and age, along with three key adjectives that describe them to a tee.
