Our Contributors
Edutopia has hundreds of active contributors—experienced teachers, school leaders, instructional coaches, professors and researchers of education, professional journalists, and more—who share their collective expertise and research-based best practices in pre-k through 12th grade education. These contributors pitch ideas and write articles based on research and/or years of real-world experience. The majority of the stories Edutopia publishes are a product of these contributors. Get to know them below.
Do you want to join these contributors by sharing a story with our audience—a strategy, lesson, or unit that really works for you? Find out more: Your Turn: Write for Us.
