MTE Update

In the closing of the September editorial, The Beat Goes On: Creative Collaboration as a Sustaining Practice, the editors have invited submissions of commentaries in response to or extending the ideas and themes of the editorial. The editors ask that those commentaries critically engage with the ideas, themes, and arguments raised in the editorial. They might offer alternative perspectives, surface and examine broader related issues, expand on key ideas, or highlight new directions forward for our field. Manuscripts should be no longer than 3,000 words, including references, must adhere to the journal’s submission guidelines, and will undergo de-identified review.

We are also excited to preview what the journal will offer in 2026. In the upcoming February 2026 issue the first two of our Special Call: Supporting Teachers to Engage Traditionally Marginalized Learners, will be published. Authors Sundrani and Carman share a theoretical perspective piece on developing community teachers of mathematics and authors Stafford, Fink, Knapp, Heaton, and Kulow share a tool to support teachers to set equity-oriented noticing goals during instruction, coined ACT, or the Anti-Deficit Co-Noticing Tool. In addition to our special call articles, we have two articles that support our community’s continued growth and understanding of our roles as MTEs. Authors Lee, Martin, Waddell, and Roth McDuffie represent AMTE’s Get the Facts Out (GFO) Project with their article and authors Navas and Hensberry describe an intervention used with preservice elementary teachers to develop their technological pedagogical content knowledge. 

The quality of the journal continues to depend on the authors and reviewers. We welcome AMTE members who wish to review volunteer to review through the online review and submission system
