The Association of Teacher Educators was founded in 1920 and is an individual membership organization devoted solely to the improvement of teacher education both for school-based and post secondary teacher educators. ATE members represent over 700 colleges and universities, over 500 major school systems, and the majority of state departments of education. The ATE office is located in the Washington DC area where it represents its members’ interests before governmental agencies and education organizations. In addition, ATE has representatives on the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
The 2012 Annual Meeting of the Association of Teacher Educators will be held in San Antonio, Texas, at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio on the Riverwalk. The theme selected by President Jim Alouf is Creating a Global Community of Learners: Guiding the Future of Education.
