Letters to the editor

We’re open to letters

If you’re reading this, then you’re an engaged member of your profession. That means you likely have an opinion. You probably share that opinion verbally with others who are within earshot. Maybe they talk back to you; maybe they run away.

Either way, why not take that a step further by writing that opinion down and sharing it with the ATA News in the form of a letter to the editor? We welcome such feedback, whether it be opinions about stories we’ve published, views about issues of the day in education (or issues that are being overlooked), anecdotes relating a personal experience … it’s really wide open.

Please find our submission guidelines at the bottom of this page, and next time an opinion pops into your head, please pop it into an email. We look forward to hearing from you.
