Bread Loaf Teacher Network Journal

The Bread Loaf Teacher Network Journal (previously Bread Loaf Teacher Magazine) was created in 1993 by the Bread Loaf School of English, funded by the Wallace-Reader’s Digest Funds. The magazine was edited for several years by Chris Benson at Clemson University, and then produced by guest editors Sheri Skelton, an Alaskan teacher, and most recently by Tom McKenna MA ’96, Alaska teacher and director of BLTN communications. The articles are written by members of the Bread Loaf Teacher Network and other associates of the Bread Loaf School of English.

Past Issues

Past issues have addressed themes of teacher research, changing practice, teaching with technology, building community, school reform, standards, connected teaching and learning, and how Bread Loaf scholarship influences teaching practice. Contact Tom McKenna to propose an article or a theme.
