The Managing Editor and Advisory Panel for the New Teacher Advocate seek well-written manuscripts on topics of particular interest and help to beginning educators. Manuscripts of up to 1,000 words should be research backed and offer practical suggestions and resources that student teachers and first-year educators can readily apply in the classroom.

NTA Columns

In the Classroom: Articles cover guidelines and concrete suggestions on general classroom topics such as classroom management, differentiating lessons, and developing good parent-teacher relationships.

Rules & Reasons: Educators with experience and expertise in legal matters within the classroom may submit articles that help beginning educators maintain professional and proper boundaries.

Coach’s Corner: Articles for this column offer support and advice that help teachers become resourceful leaders.

Insights: Submissions for Insights are brief­—100 to 300 words—and share first-person, first-year tips, insights, “aha” moments, and humorous anecdotes.
