The purpose of Teaching for High Potential (THP) is to provide a practical tool for educators striving to meet the needs of gifted students in schools and classrooms. Unlike a scholarly journal, we do not publish theoretical analyses, reviews of research, research reports, or other technical articles written in a more formal, academic style. THP is a magazine for educators. 

General Guidelines 

Articles for THP should: 

  • Have a clear purpose, discuss topics pertinent to practitioners in the field, and be written in a straightforward style. 

  • Be grounded in sound theory and best practices and, where possible, make a connection to the NAGC Pre-K-Grade 12 Gifted Programming Standards. 

  • Suggest resources (in print and electronic) for exploring a topic in depth. 

Preparing Your Submission 

Teaching for High Potential is a peer-reviewed publication. The editor refers qualified manuscripts to reviewers who have expertise in the subject/topic addressed in the manuscript. Reviewers' comments and any suggestions for revisions are then provided to the author with a deadline for re-submission. To avoid delay, authors should follow these instructions:  

  • Manuscripts should be between 800 and 2,000 words. 

  • Write concisely and in the active voice. 

  • Use a 1-inch margins on all sides. Please use a font such as Times, Times New Roman, or Arial rather than an unusual or decorative font as they may delay the processing of your material. 

  • References, listed as Endnotes, should follow the APA style as outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition). [Special Note: Authors should not use the automatic Endnote feature within MS Word. A simple number within the body of the text that associates with a number at the end of the article in an Endnotes citation section is preferred.] 

  • Manuscripts should represent only original work that has not been published previously or is not being considered for publication elsewhere. 


Submitting Your Article 

All prospective authors should submit their material electronically via the link provided in the confirmation email to this opportuity. Include the manuscript as an attachment to the form in a current version of Microsoft Word. If you are unable to submit your manuscript via this form for any reason, please reach out to NAGC for further instructions. 


Review Process 

THP conducts an extensive review of each article, with the goal of ensuring that every article published will be as strong as possible! 

Therefore, please expect to be asked for revisions before final acceptance and publication. In addition to being reviewed by the editor-in-chief, articles submitted to THP are reviewed by at least two members of the THP editorial review board. 

The review process can require 6 to 8 weeks; the final acceptance and subsequent publication will depend on the time needed to complete required revisions. 

NAGC retains the copyright for all articles accepted for publication. Authors are free to use their own material, given it is not in the original publication format. 

NAGC cannot return unsolicited material that is submitted in hard copy or on disk nor do we pay authors for THP submissions. The editorial office will acknowledge the receipt of your manuscript and the editor-in- chief will contact you regarding the results of the review process.
