Unboxed is a journal of adult learning in schools. If you’re an adult who works in, or with, schools, or you’re a student with something to say to adults who work in schools, you should contribute!
We seek contributions that help people get better at teaching, help educational leaders refine their direction and practices, help school designers improve their vision and systems, and help researchers ask better questions and seek better data. These could include stories, project examples, ideas, reflections, advice, research, and visions of the future.
If you’re interested in submitting, read the FAQs below. For even more information, take a look at the Unboxed Writers’ Guide.

Definitely not. Unboxed is a journal first and foremost for professional educators, not academia.
Here’s the tone to go for:

A caveat: this article should be valuable as well as interesting. Ask yourself, what will the reader do with this information after they read your article?
Indeed there is! It’s here.
