Write for Us Teaching: Teaching Blog Guest Post Guidelines
Teachers, teacher trainers and heads of department: I'd love your guest posts. I'm after practical, classroom tested writing on lesson planning, free tools, behaviour and routines, blended teaching, supporting new teachers and marking that doesn't eat the weekend. I don't publish political commentary on education, product promotion or back to school lists that anyone could've written.
Teaching write for us brings up education blogs, teacher communities and school focused contributor pages, and they're mostly asking for classroom voices. That's encouraging. Where this blog differs is the reader. Mine aren't all teachers, so I want posts where a teacher explains a routine or a marking method clearly enough that a trainer, a tutor or a parent running a workshop could pick it up too.
It's a mixed crowd: teachers, trainers, tutors and business owners who teach workshops or run staff training. They already use my lists of the best apps for teachers and AI tools for teachers. A teaching post here should hand them something they can use in a room full of people.
60-second teaching guest post check
A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:
- Do you teach, or train teachers, right now or recently
- Have you kept politics and policy arguments out
- Does it open with the answer, not a story about the start of term
- Is there a lesson, routine or example readers can copy
- Have you avoided naming pupils or schools
Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.
What we publish
- Planning lessons that keep a class engaged
- Free classroom tools that save time
- Behaviour and routines that work from the first week
- Teaching remotely or in blended settings
- Supporting new teachers through their first year
- Marking and feedback methods that don't take all night
- Using AI tools in class without losing the thinking
- Running training sessions for adults, from a teacher's view
If your post could be published on any teaching site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.
What we look for in teaching posts
Here's how a teaching pitch usually splits: the useful version and the one I pass on.
| Topic | What gets accepted | What gets declined |
|---|---|---|
| Lesson planning | A lesson you've taught, with what worked | A generic lesson plan template |
| Classroom tools | Free tools you use and how | A brand's product pitch |
| Behaviour | Routines that settle a class | Opinions on discipline policy |
| Feedback | A marking method that saves time | Complaints about workload with no fix |
| New teachers | How you support or mentor them | Motivational posts for the new term |
What we don't accept
- Political commentary or policy debates on education
- Product promotion written by the brand
- Generic back to school lists
- Posts with no classroom experience behind them
- Previously published posts republished from another site
What you get
- Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
- One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
- A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
- Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live
How to submit
Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.
What a strong teaching pitch looks like
A weak pitch says "I want to write about why teachers deserve more respect." A strong one says "I'm a secondary science teacher and I've swapped written comments for short spoken feedback. I'd like to explain how it works, how pupils responded, and how it cut my marking time each week." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.
The angles that get accepted fastest
- Spoken feedback in place of red pen comments
- Starter activities that settle a lively class
- Mentoring a new teacher without overloading them
- Free tools I'd keep if I could only have three
- Teaching the same lesson online and in the room
- Routines that make the first week calmer
- Classroom techniques that work in staff training too
- Getting quiet pupils talking

Frequently asked questions
Does Lilach Bullock accept teaching guest posts?
Yes. Teaching guest posts are welcome from classroom teachers, teacher trainers and heads of department. The post should be practical and drawn from your own classroom, without political commentary.
What teaching topics fit this blog?
Lesson planning, free classroom tools, behaviour and routines, remote and blended teaching, supporting new teachers, and marking and feedback methods.
I write about education technology rather than teaching. Where should I pitch?
The edtech page is the better fit for posts about learning technology, and the education page covers the sector more widely. Same editor, so send it and I'll place it.
How long should a guest post be?
Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.
Can I include a link back to my own site?
One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.
Do you accept previously published content?
No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.
Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?
You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.
Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?
Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.
How long does a decision take?
We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.
Do you edit guest posts before they go live?
Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.
Can I pitch more than one idea?
Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.
How do I submit a teaching guest post?
Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience teaching or training teachers. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
