General Instructions CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS: Business Education Forum Share what you know about teaching business by writing an article for publication. We’re looking for articles that interest teachers in the field of business education and that aim to improve learning for students by making teaching more effective and creative. The kind of article you would like to read—one that brings something new to the table.  How does this benefit you? Gaining professional accomplishment and recognition, making a difference in the life of your colleagues, and making a lasting contribution to the profession you love. What kinds of articles? The Forum is looking for articles by practitioners, for practitioners to run in the following regular columns:

• Business Education Competency-based activities and perspectives (1500–2000 words)
• Planbook/Theory into Practice  (450–950 words)
• From the Field (450–750 words)
• Resource Review (350–450 words) 

What does each type of article cover and require? Consult your member copy (available online) and read articles in your intended columns for examples and structure. If you still have questions, contact Joanne Lozar Glenn (jlg@joannelozarglenn.com) for additional information.
