FAQs – Submitting your ELT Story

What kind of “ELT Story” are you looking for?
We’re looking for examples of student work, curriculum, or teacher collaboration that others could learn from and would find interesting.

Do I have to get my ELT Story ready for publication before I submit it?
No. Just use our quick online entry form. The form asks a few short questions that will allow you to summarize your ELT Story and tell us why you think it’s important. Then we will work with you to complete your ELT Story and get it ready for publication.
 

Are you looking for ELT Stories in specific curriculum areas?
One of the best aspects of ELT is that it allows schools to offer a more diverse and well-rounded education to students. So no, we’re not looking for ELT Stories in a specific area. Whether its core academics, enrichment programs, apprenticeships, the arts, health and wellness, or how teachers analyze data and look at student work, we’re interested in learning about your ELT Story. You decide if you think others should hear about your work and then submit your idea.

When will I be notified if my ELT Story has been selected for online publication?
We will notify all those who have been selected by July 7th. Then we will work with you to complete your ELT Story and get it ready for publication.
