As librarians, we wear many hats including reading specialist, makerspace instructor, technology teacher, information specialist and social justice adviser. Share your lessons and expertise in journals targeted for educators, collaborators, makerspace mavens, technology teachers, humanities instructors, or any other fields you enjoy teaching, or researching.
Always read one or more issues before you start the application process. When you write for an audience other than school librarians, recognize that the more you can “speak” their language and reflect their goals, the better your communication will be. Don’t forget to list your AISL membership in your biographical information.
If your favorite journals aren’t in this list, you can look on their websites. A link to the writing submission instructions can often be found on the homepage.
