Submissions
The challenge is to capture an individual educator in elements that are:
- Beautiful
- Inspiring
- Guidance-oriented: These are elements of teaching that transcend particular discipline, grade level, and get at the HEART of teaching.
- Brief, Uncomplicated, and Easy to do
- Accessible: Not so slick, professional and polished that they would intimidate teacher submission of content to the journal.
- Varied: Involve a wide variety of formats, to inspire the user to want to continue looking, exploring, using: such as video, audio, quotes, visual, anything creative.
- Real: We are not trying to capture perfection.
- The “F” word: Don't forget to capture the fun and the funny.
Think about WHO the educator is, WHAT makes them special, and HOW they approach their craft - How might this inform WHAT you capture and HOW you capture it?
