Communication Teacher is a quarterly publication dedicated to the identification, assessment and promotion of quality teaching practices in the K-12, community college, and university communication classrooms. Teaching practices are explored in depth: the rationale, objectives and identification of courses for which the practice is intended, a full explanation of the practice, appraisal, references, and suggested readings. Courses covered include communication research methods, communication technologies, communication theory, family, gender, health, interpersonal, intercultural, mass, organizational, public relations, rhetoric and small group, in addition to the basic/hybrid communication courses.

In 2004, Communication Teacher became a 'Web First' journal. Published by Routledge, each issue is available electronically to current subscribers in January, April, July and October. Subscribers then receive a printed volume issued at the end of the year.

Unless specifically indicated otherwise, articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, including screening by the editor and review by at least two anonymous referees.
