Thank you so much for your interest in contributing to reThink ELA! We are always looking for K-20 classroom teachers who can help our readers learn new and effective ways to engage their English Language Arts students.
This is an excellent opportunity for you to model writing for publication to your students and for you to get your content in from of your peers across the globe.
Format
We write in article format. We start with a story that illustrates a problem our readers may be experiencing in their classes, provide potential solutions to help teachers change their mindsets and/or their pedagogies, and share how our experiences impacted our students.
Word Count
We look for articles that are between 500 to 1,000 words long. However, this is just a guideline. If you’re article needs to be longer, just make sure you use paragraphing, images and subheads to help create white space and enhance readability.
Voice
As an RTE guest and a classroom teacher, you are an expert in education. Write with confidence and demonstrate a positive attitude towards your students, colleagues, and schools.
Mission
Our mission is to help teachers from in all schools encourage ELA development in and engage all their students.
