The Teaching Teachers™ Review
The Teaching Teachers™ Review (TTR) is a practitioner publication created to amplify the voices of educators doing the work every day. We believe the most important insights about teaching come from teachers themselves and this is the space where those insights live.
Each edition features original essays, reflections, and perspectives written by teachers, for teachers, with occasional perspectives from those closest to the classroom. Our inaugural Summer 2026 edition will feature weekly contributions from educators throughout the summer, culminating in a complete compiled edition available for download at the end of the season.
We are currently accepting submissions and nominations for future editions. If you have a story, a perspective, or a practice worth sharing — we want to hear from you.
Who We Publish
The Teaching Teachers™ Review is a teacher-first publication. We prioritize submissions from current classroom teachers at the PK-12 level. We also welcome contributions from teacher-leaders, instructional coaches, and former teachers who have taught within the last three years. University faculty who maintain active teaching roles are also eligible to submit.
We do not accept submissions from individuals whose primary role is administrative, policy, or research-based without a direct and active connection to classroom teaching.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, reach out to us at business@teachingteachersllc.com and we will let you know.
The Mission
The Teaching Teachers™ Review exists to amplify the voices of the people closest to the classroom. We believe teachers are not just the subjects of education research, but they are its most important authors. This publication was built to give teachers a platform to share what they know, what they have learned, and what the field needs to hear.
Edition No. 1. - Summer 2026
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for honest, grounded, practitioner writing. Not academic papers. Not policy briefs. Real writing from real teachers about what teaching actually looks and feels like.
Topics we are especially interested in for the Summer 2026 edition include:
Your experience as a new teacher and what you wish someone had told you
How you think about your identity as a teacher and where that comes from
A lesson, unit, or classroom moment that changed how you teach
How you use data without losing sight of your students as whole people
Restorative practices in action (what worked, what did not, and what you learned)
The history of education and why it matters to you personally
Teaching in an urban school — the challenges, the joy, and the truth
Anything the education field is not talking about enough
We are open to other topics as well. If you have a story worth telling, pitch it to us.

Your name, current role, and school or district
A 100-word summary of your piece or idea
Two to three sentences about why this topic matters to you personally
