Submissions Canadian
Teacher Magazine encourages the exchange of information and ideas, explores
educational issues, and guides readers to useful products and services.
Copies are distributed by subscription; a free subscription is sent
to every school, college and university in Canada.
We welcome submissions for the following categories—
From the Classroom
Stories on timely, relevant topics of interest to K-12 teachers.
Articles may cover classroom management and practice, lesson plans
and strategy descriptions. Do you have an activity that’s particularly
effective with your students? A great tip for classroom management,
organizing your time, dealing with social issues, or building classroom
community? Personal essays about a teacher’s poignant, revelatory,
even humorous experiences with kids, staff members, parents or community?
Colour photographs or samples of students’ work that clarify your
ideas are helpful.
The Big Picture
Articles to help busy educators tune into education trends and issues,
current research results and professional development opportunities.
Focus on Schools
Let us know if
something exciting is happening in your school.
After School
If you have taken a fantastic holiday or trip, especially if there
is an educational component to it, we are looking for informative
and entertaining articles involving teachers outside the classroom.
Healthy Living
Topics could include coping with teaching and family, strategies
to stay healthy while teaching, relaxing and rejuvenating, planning
for retirement.
News
Announcements about new contests, products, programs or services that are relevant to classroom teachers. Up to 200 words. Please write your announcement as objectively as possible, avoiding superlatives and wording that sounds like a sales pitch.
Pro D Calendar
We are happy to print announcements of upcoming events anywhere
in Canada that may be of interest to educators.

to teachers? Interested in arranging a home exchange or renting
