    "Journal Submission Guidelines NCTE publishes twelve professional journals, including at least one for each membership section. Volunteer editors ensure that the peer-reviewed content is of the highest quality and is relevant to the lives of NCTE members and subscribers. Because these journals are all published through different volunteer editors, the submission guidelines vary for each: * Classroom Notes Plus * College Composition and Communication * English Education * College English * English Journal * English Leadership Quarterly * Language Arts * Research in the Teaching of English * School Talk * Talking Points * Teaching English in the Two-Year College * Voices from the Middle"

  • "We should be teaching students how to think. Instead, we are teaching them what to think."
  • "Many 17-year-olds do not possess the 'higher-order' intellectual skills we should expect of them. Nearly 40 percent cannot draw inferences from written material; only one-fifth can write a persuasive essay; and only one-third can solve a mathematics problem requiring several steps."

  • Critical thinking is a learned ability that must be taught. Most individuals never learn it. Critical thinking cannot be taught reliably to students by peers or by most parents. Trained and knowledgable instructors are necessary to impart the proper information and skills.
  • Critical thinking means correct thinking in the pursuit of relevant and reliable knowledge about the world.
