Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • TEEM Submission Preparation Checklist


    When submitting a revision of your manuscript, please include a detailed table that shows how you have addressed each of the reviewers' suggestions.

Author Guidelines

Authors who submit to TEEM agree to the following terms:

  1. To adhere to all items required in the TEEM Submission Preparation Checklist;
  2. To submit a completed copy of the TEEM Submission Preparation Checklist with their manuscript.
  3. To format the manuscript submission using this TEEM Journal Article Template, when requested. 

For Papers Written by Classroom Teachers: 

If submitting to a call for papers specifically written by PK-12 classroom teachers, the manuscript will still go through a competitive review process. However, manuscripts submitted by teachers will not be rejected for failure to adhere to the stylistic/formatting requirements of the journal. Rather, classroom teachers will be offered any needed help from TEEM editors with style/formatting aspects, e.g. DARE questions.

Classroom teachers may consider any of the following for the content of their manuscript: 

  1. A description, discussion and reflection on what happened while trying to implement a particular strategy or recommendation from the "excellence and equity" research literature (from a previous issue of TEEM, or another publication or source).
  2. An article that focuses on some aspect of the TODOS mission and related goals:
    • to advocate for an equitable and high-quality mathematics education for all students.
    • to inform the public, including parents, and influence educational policies in ways that enable students to become mathematically proficient.
    • to inform teacher education programs.
  3. An article that shares teaching and learning materials and/or plans that align with the TODOS mission and goals.
  4. An article that shares student artifact(s) that align with the TODOS mission and goals.

If you have an interesting idea that is not included in the list above, please reach out to an editor to determine whether it fits within the scope of TEEM! 

 

TEEM AI Policy

The intended use of this policy is to guide and support authors and reviewers of Teaching for Excellence and Equity in Mathematics in relation to using AI-based tools. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a new and powerful space for researchers, teachers, specialists and instructional coaches, parents, and other advocates for the education and well-being of children. On one hand, AI has been used, to name a few examples, for creating mathematical tasks, evaluating lesson plans, analyzing teacher-student interactions, synthesizing research literature, and mapping the location of teachers’ movement in the classroom. On the other hand, AI has challenging implications to our intellectual property laws, ethics and equity, student surveillance, and environmental concerns. Regulations on AI are evolving and so is TEEM’s consideration of the use of AI tools for preparing, reviewing, and publishing articles.

For manuscript preparation: We share in the community's embrace of responsible and ethical use of AI tools to help in developing manuscripts for publication. As such, authors need to be transparent and cite the use of AI tools similar to how the use of other specialty tools are cited (e.g., NVivo, Dedoose, R, SPSS, ArcGIS, Knight Lab’s StoryMap). It is essential for authors to ensure AI data practices align with IRB, ensuring data is secure. We highly recommend the APA’s recommendations for how to cite the use of AI tools (https://apastyle.apa.org/blog/how-to-cite-chatgpt). 

For reviewing submitted manuscripts: Because of the questions behind intellectual property and the data that is scraped by machine learning mechanisms, we ask that reviewers not use AI tools for reviewing manuscripts submitted to TEEM (i.e. never put a manuscript into AI). Our goal is to protect and respect the intellectual property and labor of authors. Similar to a manuscript, however, if a reviewer uses AI tools for editing and refining their own review, that is seen as appropriate as long as the use of AI is responsibly and ethically done. Any use of AI tools must be disclosed to the editors and to the manuscript authors within the review.  

The landscape is changing quickly. Please be patient with the editors if we have questions about authors’ use of AI. This is not meant to be accusatory, but for us as editors to learn how these systems work and that the use of AI tools is transparent to TEEM readers. We look forward to working with authors and reviewers in traversing new technological landscapes.
