What do we look for in a Teaching Strategy Submission?
Your submission is more likely to turn into a payable project if you keep the following guidelines in mind.

1. Understand who we are, what we do, and why we do it.

​Make sure you’ve read the About Us page. That will tell you what we consider to be the effective instructional practices and frameworks we want to share with the educators who use our products. If your submission doesn’t align with our understanding of best practices, then it is very likely that we won't be able to move forward with the submission.

2. Review the list of new strategy pages we want to add to our site.

We need your help.  We want to add new strategy pages to our site and we are looking for the best applicant to write each page. 

3. Ask yourself, "Have I had success using one of the strategy pages on this list?"

If so, click the link next to the strategy page to apply. When sharing your success story, please be as specific as possible. For example, if you are explaining that a strategy was built into your daily routine, detail how it was part of your daily routine.

4. Describe the most impactful element of your instruction.

What was the "secret ingredient" to your success in implementing the strategy you are applying to write? If other educators wanted to replicate your success, what is the most important thing for them to know about what you did? Focus your submission on that. Please do not describe an entire lesson or unit. 

5. We prioritize effectiveness and best-practice, not originality.

We are looking for actual instruction that worked, not hype. It's okay if you feel that your submission highlights an established best practice and may not be "new" or "original." We believe that just because a practice is new or unique, doesn't mean that it is effective or better. Also, just because something is established and well-known doesn't mean it is ineffective or outdated. 

6. Don't forget to send us your evidence of practice.

​Please do not spend time creating anything just for the purpose of submission! Our intention is for the submission phase to be very quick and easy for contributors since we do not pay for submissions. We are more interested in learning about what you actually did or used that worked. This not only validates your submission, but also helps us better understand the instruction that took place. Here are some examples of the type of evidence we look for:
  • Student work 
  • Resources or materials used during the instruction (soft copy or photos)
Please do not send lessons plans, unit plans, pacing guides, or scope and sequence documents. They tell us about instruction, they don't show us instruction. If you have multiple potential pieces of evidence to send, please send the one you feel best captures the most impactful element of your instruction.
