A. Education Week
Seeking over the years to build strategically on Education Week’s reputation as the single “must read” news source for K-12 leaders and policy experts, Editorial Projects in Education has extended its reach through a host of print and online offerings that complement its flagship publication and position the organization for sustainable success in the 21st century. This Website may include a variety of features, such as discussion forums, blogs, chats, webinars, calendars, and comment sections, which allow feedback to edweek.org and real-time interaction between users. EPE also uses social media services, including but not limited to Twitter and Facebook, to enable feedback and real-time interaction. The following are the submission guidelines:Aspiring contributors should write Commentary essays on issues that affect K-12 education and are of interest to a broad range of people. Our diverse readership includes school administrators, policymakers, and teachers, as well as scholars, lawmakers, government officials, business leaders, professionals, parents, and community leaders.
Submissions should be no more than 1,200 words long. There is no minimum length, and shorter essays are welcome. On rare occasions, Education Week reprints articles, with permission, from other publications, but as a rule, we do not accept manuscripts that have been published or accepted elsewhere.
Submissions should be opinion essays, not scholarly articles, and must present a clear point of view on a specific topic. No footnotes, graphs, or illustrations should be included. We ask that writers avoid using subheadings and bullets; if you must include them, please use as few as possible. Keep quotations brief—your essay should discuss your views, not summarize other people’s opinions. You should provide sources of quotations and factual references for copy-editing purposes and to validate your statements, but we do not publish footnotes.
We acknowledge all Commentary submissions by email when they have been processed by our staff. You will be notified separately only if your submission is under consideration for publication. If Education Week decides to publish your essay, you will receive a contract to sign and return to the Commentary staff. With the exception of occasional specially commissioned essays, Education Week does not pay Commentary contributors.
Please note that we cannot provide frequent updates on the status of submitted pieces that are still under consideration. We discourage repeated messages regarding submissions, as they tend to slow down the deliberation process.
All submissions accepted for publication are subject to editing for clarity, accuracy, length, and conformity to Education Week style. If substantive changes or fact-checking are required, the Commentary editors will contact the author. The editors will make minor revisions at their own discretion and without consultation with the author(s).
The Commentary editors will decide where an essay will be published (in the print edition of Education Week and/or online at edweek.org), as well as when it will run. We strongly discourage authors from submitting their essays to other publications until after they have appeared in Education Week or on edweek.org.
Authors retain the right, however, to publish their essays subsequently. Any reprint requests from other publications will be referred to the writer(s).
B.
The Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME), an official journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, is devoted to the interests of teachers of mathematics and mathematics education at all levels-preschool through adult. JRME is a forum for disciplined inquiry into the teaching and learning of mathematics. The editors encourage the submission of a variety of manuscripts: reports of research, including experiments, case studies, surveys, philosophical studies, and historical studies; articles about research, including literature reviews and theoretical analyses; brief reports of research; critiques of articles and books; and brief commentaries on issues pertaining to research.
The Journal for Research in Mathematics Education is published five times a year—January, March, May, July, and November—at 1906 Association Dr., Reston, VA 20191-1502. An index for each volume appears in the November issue.
The publications of the Council present a variety of viewpoints. The views expressed or implied in this publication, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official positions of the Council. Publications have to be submitted through the JRME Online Manuscript Submission and Tracking System.
Everything that I have researched dealing with professional organizations and publications is vital to my career. I am a member of the first organization I chose, ATPE. The publications allow me to keep current on events and issues in education, and especially the field of mathematics.
