Education blogs that accept guest posts are a smaller, serious niche. My list, re-checked live in September 2026, has 61 sites tagged education: 54 were live and 34 had a domain authority of 40 or more. Examples include edweek.org, educationnews.org and weareteachers.com. Check each site's current guidelines before you pitch.
Education sites are read by teachers, school leaders, parents, students and the people who build tools for all of them. That makes the niche attractive to edtech companies, tutoring services and course creators, and it makes editors protective. Their readers spend their days with children and young people, so editors want advice that works in a real classroom and claims that stand up.
This page pulls the education sites out of my free list of websites that accept guest posts, which I re-checked site by site in September 2026.
How many education blogs on my list still accept guest posts?
| Measure | Count |
|---|---|
| Education sites on my list | 61 |
| Live when checked | 54 |
| Live with DA 40 or more | 34 |
| Dead or parked | 7 |
Only about one in nine was dead or parked, a strong survival rate. The category includes several university and government pages with very high authority, which I've left out of the examples, because they're institutional sites rather than blogs that take outside posts.
Which education blogs accept guest posts?
Twelve live education sites from my list, with their domain authority when I checked:
- edweek.org: DA 85
- educationnews.org: DA 66
- weareteachers.com: DA 65
- ncte.org: DA 63
- infed.org: DA 61
- nsba.org: DA 60
- thepienews.com: DA 57

- edarabia.com: DA 51
- simplek12.com: DA 49
- educationhq.com: DA 47
- ednewsdaily.com: DA 44
Some of these are professional associations and trade publications with their own contributor rules, so expect a vetting process. Guidelines change, so read each site's current write for us page before you pitch.
Schools, higher education or edtech?
Education readers split into groups that rarely overlap:
- Classroom and teaching sites want lesson ideas, behaviour advice and practical teaching tips.
- School leadership and policy sites want analysis, research and system-level thinking.
- Higher and international education sites want admissions, student life and study abroad content.
- Edtech and learning sites want tools, online learning and digital skills, which is where software brands fit.
If you're placing a post for an edtech company, aim at the edtech and teaching groups and write for the teacher who will use the tool, not the buyer who signs off on it.
What do education editors want?
Classroom credibility. A post written by a teacher, tutor or school leader, or one that quotes them, will always do better than general advice. Say how long you've taught, what age group and where, because education systems differ a lot between countries.
Evidence matters as well. Education readers are used to research, so cite your sources and avoid big claims about results. "This helped my Year 9 class" is honest and useful. "This will raise grades" is a red flag.
Free guest post or sponsored post on an education site?
Free contributions are welcome on many education blogs, especially from working teachers, but professional publications can take time to review them. Sponsored posts are faster and more predictable, which suits edtech and tutoring brands working to a schedule. Read each site's policy, because some education sites don't accept sponsored content at all.
How do you check an education blog before you pitch?
- Search site:domain.com. If very few pages come up, move on.
- Read the three newest posts. Is the site still publishing, and who writes for it?
- Check the country. School years, exams and curriculum terms differ, so make sure the site's readers match yours.
- Find a name. A real editor you can email beats a form that never replies.
- Ask if posts are permanent. Some sites prune old content in clean-ups.
There's more in how to check backlink quality and my guide to high DA guest posting sites. For edtech topics, my technology blogs that accept guest posts page has more options, and training and courses suit business blogs that accept guest posts.
How should you pitch an education blog?
Lead with the classroom problem. "Five ways to get quiet students talking in group work" tells the editor exactly who the post helps. Give a short summary, your teaching or subject background, and any sources you'll use.
Watch the school calendar. Education editors need back to school content in late summer, exam season content in spring, and fresh ideas for the new year in January. Pitching a few weeks ahead of each gives you the best chance.
Write in plain language, too. Teachers read on their phones between lessons and at the end of long days, so short paragraphs, clear headings and one idea per section make a post far more likely to be read and shared in staff rooms. Avoid sector jargon unless the site's own writers use it, and explain any acronym the first time it appears, because terms differ between countries and between school types. If your post includes a resource such as a worksheet or a template, say whether it's free to use and who made it.
Can you place an education post on my blog?
Sometimes, when it has a business angle: marketing an edtech product, running a tutoring or training business, or online courses for business owners. lilachbullock.com is a marketing blog that's been publishing since the dial-up days, with thousands of indexed articles, and my readers are business owners, marketers and entrepreneurs, mostly in the USA and the UK. Classroom teaching advice is a better fit for the sites above. Guidelines are on my education page.
How placing a post on my blog works
- Email [email protected], or start on my write for me page, with your target URL, topic and niche.
- I reply with whether it fits and which format I'd pick: a new sponsored post or a link insertion into an existing, indexed article.
- You send the article, or I choose the right existing article for your link.
- I edit, publish and send you the live URL.
Accepted posts usually go live within 24 to 48 hours of everything being agreed. Placements are permanent. I invoice by PayPal, and if you're an agency, I never contact your client.
