Mathematics Teacher Educator (MTE)
Mathematics Teacher Educator (MTE) is an AMTE/NCTM online journal. The mission of MTE is to contribute to building a professional knowledge base for mathematics teacher educators that stems from, develops, and strengthens practitioner knowledge.
The journal provides a forum for sharing practitioner knowledge related to the preparation and support of teachers of mathematics as well as for verifying and improving that knowledge over time. The journal is thus a tool that uses the personal knowledge that mathematics educators gain from their practice to build a trustworthy knowledge base that can be shared with the profession. All manuscripts should be crafted in a manner that makes the scholarly nature of the work apparent.
Expectations for MTE Outline
The outline of your manuscript idea should address all of the following:
- problem or issue of mathematics teacher education that is addressed
- connections to the existing knowledge base in mathematics teacher education
- new contribution to the knowledge base
If they are relevant to the manuscript idea, your outline should also include a brief description of the:
- methods/interventions/tools that were used
- process by which these methods/interventions/tools and their results were studied and documented
- findings (claim(s)) about the impact or effectiveness of the intervention or tool
- evidence of effectiveness for the interventions/tools (where effectiveness implies that something is better and not just different as a result of the innovation).
See Examples of Broad Categories of MTE Manuscripts for ideas about what might be appropriate for this journal.
The outline should be a 2 page double-spaced Word document, using Times New Roman 12-pt font and 1-inch margins. References do not need to be included within the two-page document limit; key references may be appended on an additional page.

Current Issues in Technology Education (CITE)
Contemporary Issues in Technology and Mathematics Teacher Education (CITE-Math) is an AMTE/AACE online journal. The mission of CITE-Math is to provide a forum for reporting on research and engaging in a dialog about best practices related to any area of technology and mathematics teacher preparation.Articles dealing with both pre-service and in-service issues are welcomed. A wide range of formats and approaches to scholarship are accepted, including qualitative research, quantitative studies, conceptual and theoretical pieces, case studies, and professional practice papers.
All manuscripts should be developed in such a way as to make clear how the research or other scholarly exposition contributes to the knowledge base in mathematics teacher education, and in particular, the use of technology as it is applied to the field. While not all manuscripts or projects will involve media or applets, it is important to note that this is an online journal and thus has the capability to imbed videos, applets, and other dynamic media within the body of the paper as opposed to just links to external resources. See the Sample Article for examples of how video or other media can be utilized within the body of an article.
Expectations for CITE Outline

Connections
With four issues per year, Connections is one of AMTE’s major publications. It currently utilizes an on-line format, with current/past issues archived on the AMTE website.
The purpose of Connections is to support AMTE’s mission of promoting the improvement of K-12 mathematics teacher education by providing members with up-to-date information and resources related to AMTE, current research, and other areas/organizations (e.g., NCTM) that will aid members with their work in pre-service and in-service teacher education. It also provides a venue for members to share their ideas, work, and research. To help support this goal, Connections invites blind, peer-reviewed submissions (up to 1,400 words).
The Editorial Panel will consider a wide variety of types of submissions including essays addressing questions related to theory and practice, reviews of resources for mathematics teacher educators, research summaries, and news articles related to mathematics teacher education. Each submission is blind reviewed by the editorial board for relevance to the AMTE membership and for quality of work.
Expectations for Connections Outline
The outline of your article idea should contain a brief description of the type, content, and goal of the submission.
The outline should be a 2 page double-spaced Word document, using Times New Roman 12-pt font and 1-inch margins.
