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:
- the problem or issue of mathematics teacher education that is addressed,
- the connection to the existing knowledge base in mathematics teacher education,
- the 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,
- the means by which these methods/interventions/tools and their results were studied and documented,
- the findings (claim(s) about the impact or effectiveness of the intervention or tool),
- the evidence of the effectiveness of the interventions/tools where effectiveness implies that something is better and not just different as a result of the innovation.
Examples of broad categories of manuscripts that might be appropriate for MTE can be found here. Also, the editors have crafted a writing template that you also may want to review prior to writing your outline.
The outline should be written in Word, Times 12-pt font, 1-inch margins, double-spaced, with a total length of 2 pages. References do not need to be included within the two-page document limit; key references may be appended on an additional page.
Submit your outline via email to: christine.browning@wmich.edu
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 use for mathematics teacher education. Articles dealing at both pre-service and in-service education level 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 for the effective use of technology in mathematics teacher education.
Expectations for CITE Outline
A two-page outline of your manuscript idea should address:
- the problem or issue of technology use in mathematics teacher education that is addressed,
- the connection to the existing knowledge base in mathematics teacher education,
- the description of the methodology used in the study (if applicable)
- the application of technology in the preparation or professional development of mathematics teachers,
- the new contribution to the knowledge base including any research claims (if applicable) and their application to teacher preparation/professional development.
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. In preparing a manuscript, please keep this in mind so that at the time of submission, you can have any relevant media available to upload to the submission site. There is a separate upload space specifically for media files such as video or other more dynamic resources. For examples of how video or other media can be utilized within the body of an article, see http://www.citejournal.org/vol12/iss3/mathematics/article1.cfm. Again, this may not apply to all submissions, but it is a possibility when appropriate.
The outline should be written in Word, Times 12-pt font, 1-inch margins, double-spaced, with a total length of 2 pages. References do not need to be included within the two-page document limit; key references may be appended on an additional page.

Connections
The purpose of the Connections Newsletter 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, we solicit blind, peer-reviewed submissions (up to 1,400 words). It is one of AMTE’s major publications (published 4x/year). It currently utilizes an on-line format; current/past issues are archived on the AMTE website.
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
Your proposed paper should contain a brief description of the type, content, and goal of the submission.
The document should be written in Word, Times 12-pt font, 1 inch margins, double-spaced, with a total length of 2 pages.
