Journal of Music Teacher Education (JMTE) has recently started reviewing manuscripts in a new type of format. The JMTE website states:Analyses of Programs, Practices, and/or Policies: Authors of analyses of programs, practices, and policies may focus on one, two, or all three of these components. A "program" may be as big as the curriculum for a teacher education degree program but as small as a course. A "practice" might be a particular unit, lesson, approach, activity, assignment, assessment, or partnership. "Policy" might be at the national, regional, state, institutional, departmental, or course level. Analyses should go beyond simple description to include past research related to the project as well as next steps for the work.The purpose of this article is to guide authors in developing these types of article submissions. I begin with clarification of the terms analysis, program, practice, and policy, followed by a discussion of submissions that would not qualify for the column. I conclude with key characteristics of what an APPP (Analyses of Programs, Practices and Policies) "is" and gesture to two upcoming APPP invited projects to appear in the JMTE as examples for future submissions.
