Submit to Klingbrief

Klingbrief provides busy educators with a carefully-curated set of thought-provoking readings selected to support individual growth, spark essential conversations with colleagues, and inform decision-making in the classroom and across the school. Delivered monthly during the academic year, Klingbrief is created by independent school educators to support the global education community by providing resources that address both foundational questions of education and emerging challenges and opportunities facing educators today. 

Your recommendation of a useful article, impactful book, thought-provoking podcast or inspiring video is crucial for making Klingbrief relevant and useful to your fellow educators. Submissions are evaluated by the Klingbrief Editorial Board, a group of alumni volunteers, who select items for publication, giving consideration to relevance of the material and quality of the review. 

Klingbrief is co-created by educators for the benefit of the independent and international school community. A key strength of the publication is writing that reflects and honors the deep thinking and authentic voice of each educator who writes for Klingbrief. The Klingbrief Editorial board shepherds the publication using non-AI-mediated, collaborative processes based on our perspectives as educators and school leaders. With this in mind, we ask Klingbrief contributors to center the following values, regardless of whether or not they choose to engage AI tools in their professional writing practice: critical reading and synthesis, thoughtful reflection, and writing that grounds their reviews in their own experiences as learners, leaders, and educators.
