The Elementary Principal magazine is your publication. We want it to be informative and reflective of the information that is important to elementary principals in Missouri.
You can learn a lot from an elementary principal! You are invited to submit an article for publication. We want and need all types of articles. Tell us how you solved a problem. Share a humorous story. Let us hear your opinions on current issues. Be creative and share your successes.
Just a couple of reminders. Remember that The Elementary Principal is a magazine and not a scholarly journal. Magazine articles are generally shorter, less structured, and more subjective than scholarly papers. Write in plain English, avoid jargon and clarify technical terms. Feel free to use quotes, data, and pertinent anecdotes from any source, including personal experience.
How long should the articles be? Articles should be between 300 and 600 words. (Every 50 words translates to about 1 1/2” of copy in the magazine.) Articles should be submitted via email as an attached document. Microsoft Word is our preferred word processing program; however, MAESP is able to translate most others. If you cannot send your article electronically, please send on a computer disk. Please do not submit articles that have been published or that are being considered for publication elsewhere.
