We invite you to reconsider the meaning and challenge of educating educators ãprincipals, teachers, student teachers, teacher educators.

Think of a triangle: so stable on its base and so fragile on its point. This quintessential mathematical shape when moved into three dimensions can form virtually anything. It is a structure that can generate endless insight and can focus us on our quest to extend how we learn ever outwards.

With such an open heart we ask you to ponder:

How do we educate educators?

For those of us that educate educators, what are the responsibilities and challenges? Can we break habits? Challenge perceived limits?

Can we as educators re-imagine ourselves?

Are we educating educators out of education? Where is the resistance?

What is the point?

Why does it matter?

Chalk in hand, we invite all educators, students, and scholars to assemble their notes, and their creativity, into new expressions of learning. Please submit endeavors that are directed towards challenging and re-thinking the education of educators.

Submission Guidelines: Limit manuscripts to 5000 words or less, poetry to 5000 words or less, music to 2 minutes or less, and digital videos to 300 MB or less. See Guidelines for details.
