Journal of Teacher Education

In January 2021, AACTE named Texas A&M University’s College of Education and Human Development as the incoming editorial host of the Journal of Teacher Education. The journal is led by two coeditors – Cheryl Craig and Valerie Hill-Jackson.

Etta R. Hollins (University of Missouri-Kansas City) serves as the current Editor in Residence, preceded by Punya Mishra (2024), Lin A. Goodwin (2023), Marilyn Cochran-Smith (2022), and Gloria Ladson-Billings (2021).

The EiR is a designation recognizing extraordinary career contributions in the area of teacher preparation. This new position, created by the co-editors, is to recognize national and international eminence in practice, research, or policy in teacher preparation. A minimum requirement is that a candidate must be considered, without question, in the top echelon among his or her peers. This title is by invite only and for the duration of a one-year term.

The JTE editorial team includes the following:

• Cheryl Craig, Co-Editor
• Valerie Hill-Jackson, Co-Editor
• Etta R. Hollins, Editor in Residence
• Heidi Hallman, Associate Editor
• Rafael Lara-Alecio, Associate Editor
• Jori S. Beck, Associate Editor
• Ambyr Rios, Associate Editor
• Bugrahan Yalvac, Associate Editor
• Shaun D. Hutchins, Assistant Editor

The editors aim to achieve a strategic balance among the areas of preservice and in-service teacher education practice, policy, and research, bringing those areas to bear on one another in challenging and productive ways. They offer a forum for diverse work of teacher education researchers (university and non-university based), teacher education practitioners (e.g., university, state, district, community college), and policy makers at all levels. Linking research and practice is paramount in their vision for the JTE.

The mission of the Journal of Teacher Education, the flagship journal of AACTE, is to serve as a research forum for a diverse group of scholars who are invested in the preparation and continued support of teachers and who can have a significant voice in discussions and decision-making around issues of teacher education. One of the fundamental goals of the journal is the use of evidence from rigorous investigation to identify and address the increasingly complex issues confronting teacher education at the national and global levels. These issues include but are not limited to preparing teachers to effectively address the needs of marginalized youth, their families and communities; program design and impact; selection, recruitment, and retention of teachers from underrepresented groups; local and national policy; accountability; and routes to certification.

JTE does not publish book reviews, program evaluations, or articles solely describing programs, program components, courses, or personal experiences.
