The Clearing House:
Manuscript Submission
The Clearing House, a peer-reviewed journal, publishes material of interest to middle level and high school teachers and administrators, as well as postsecondary education faculty members and their students. The journal contains articles reporting on useful practices, research findings, and experiments. We also publish a limited number of first-person accounts and opinion pieces on controversial issues.
Consideration is given to articles dealing with educational trends and philosophy; preservice and inservice education; effective schools; curriculum; learning styles; discipline; guidance and counseling; community involvement; education of students with disabilities; teaching and learning climate; gifted and talented programs; international education; instructional leadership; instructional techniques; teaching with computers; testing and measurement; and school law.
We prefer manuscripts that do not exceed 3,500 words. We also accept short pieces of roughly 600 words.
Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively to College Teaching. We cannot review—or publish—multiple submissions.
The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed., University of Chicago Press, 2003, should be used as a style reference in preparation of manuscripts. References at the end of the manuscript should be unnumbered and listed alphabetically according to the author's last name, followed by the year of publication, as in Smith, J. 1989. Citation in the text should list author, date, and applicable page numbers, as in (Smith 1989, xx).
Reproductions of figures (graphs and charts) may be submitted for review purposes, but must be supplied electronically, in their original source files, if the manuscript is accepted for publication. Tables should be prepared exactly or adapted as they are to appear in the journal. All files should be submitted in .doc format. For tables reproduced or adapted from another publication, permission must be obtained by the author and noted on the manuscript.
Avoid explanatory notes whenever possible by incorporating their content into the text. For essential notes, identify them with consecutive superscripts and list them in a section entitled NOTES at the end of the text.
Accepted contributions normally are published within six months of acceptance. Authors will receive complimentary online access to their articles. Reprints are available through the journal.
We reserve the right to make editorial changes in style and format.
