NABTE Update
Greetings from NABTE!
The NABTE Executive Committee met in early October
2011 to set their Program of Work. We look forward to
working with you to promote business teacher education in
your state and region. Be on the lookout for exciting
announcements from NBEA for upcoming NABTE events.
Please help! The NABTE Executive Committee is working
with NASBE to identify business teacher education
programs in each state to inform business teacher educators
about the benefits of a professional commitment with
NBEA and NABTE. If you know of other business teacher
education programs, please encourage them to have their
programs recognized as an institutional member of the
National Association for Business Teacher Education! In
addition to institutional membership, NABTE offers
associate memberships to faculty members preparing future
business teachers.
If you are currently serving NABTE as an institutional
representative, please make sure you keep your NBEA
membership current. You don’t want to miss out on any of
the benefits for your institution or students.

SUBMISSION DATE EXTENDED
The Business Teacher Education Journal, formerly the NABTE Review, is a refereed journal
published annually in the fall as a separate publication and in the spring as a part of the April issue of
Business Education Forum by the National Association for Business Teacher Education. Readership
consists primarily of business teacher educators, and manuscripts submitted should be of interest to
this group. A special honor to the author(s) whose manuscript is accepted for publication will be an
award presented at the NABTE business session of the forthcoming NBEA convention.
To publish in the Business Teacher Education Journal, at least one of the authors must be a
professional member of NBEA; and one of the schools must be an institutional member of NABTE.
Submit your original manuscripts exclusively to the editor by December 1, 2011. If the manuscript
or a similar one is accepted by another professional journal, or if it is readily available from any
other professional publication, it cannot be published in the Business Teacher Education Journal.
Authors’ names will be removed from the manuscript before it is sent to the Review Committee.
Each manuscript will be evaluated by at least three members of the Review Committee. The names
of reviewers assigned to specific manuscripts will not be revealed. Authors will be notified of the
publication decision generally within 90 days.
The guidelines for manuscript preparation are:
1. Provide content of interest to business teacher educators. See criteria for review below.*
Submit title page, abstract, content, and references. Keep the overall length between 3,000 to
4,000 words, although some flexibility in length is permissible.
3. Attach human subject approval to the manuscript when required by your institution.
4. Unless noted otherwise here, follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association (Sixth edition, 2010, commonly referred to as the “APA Style Manual”) for the
overall manuscript, including text, headings, references, and tables.
5. Use MS Word, Times New Roman, 12-point font, and double space the manuscript. Do not
use special table or formatting features for preparation of the manuscript. The simplest
possible formatting should be used.
6. Prepare the title page to include the title of the manuscript, your name, school, school address
and telephone number, home address and telephone number, e-mail addresses, and a total
word count. Prepare a running head of the first 3-4 words of the title to appear on the title
page and all other pages of the manuscript. Avoid identifying yourself, your school, or your
state on any page other than the title page.
7. Proofread carefully for errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Except for title pages,
manuscripts are sent to the Review Committee in the form they are received.
E-mail the manuscript as an MS Word attachment to the editor: ([email protected]).
