The Journal of Teaching Writing publishes articles of interest to
teachers at all grade levels, from preschool through university, about the
practices and theories that bear on our knowledge of how people learn and
communicate through writing. Whether the focus of such articles is on language
development, the composing process, discourse theory, or writing pedagogy, the
content should clearly reflect the spirit of inquiry which characterizes the
revelation we sometimes experience when we reflect on our teaching: the stimulating
conversation we have had with colleagues; the insight we have gained through an
effective professional conference; or the proposition we have entertained from
a professional journal or book—in short, it should enable the reader to make a
connection between what happens or could happen in class and what he or she has
heard, read, or wondered about the profession. We especially welcome articles
written by classroom teachers, whether they are first-time writers or
well-established authors. In any case, we encourage peer review of manuscripts
before they are submitted to confirm for the writer that the content is new to
the current discourse about the topic.
·
Articles may range in length from short
descriptions (10–15 pages) of principles or practices that offer helpful
insights to longer pieces (15–20 pages) that explore topics in greater detail.
All articles should have a clear philosophical or theoretical basis.
·
Contributors should submit four copies of each
manuscript, each including a separate
sheet with the author’s name (please
do not put your name on any manuscript pages), address, E-mail, telephone,
and fax numbers, and a short biographical paragraph. Manuscripts must conform
to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 2009.
·

anonymously; the Editor makes the final selections for each issue. Authors are

submission. The rate of acceptance is approximately ten (10) percent.
