Manuscript Review Groups (MRGs)
The AMTE Professional Learning Committee is excited to launch a revised format for the Manuscript Review Groups (MRGs) for the 2026–2027 academic year.
This year, MRGs will meet virtually from August 2026 through May 2027, with no requirement to attend the AMTE Annual Conference.
The revised format is designed to:
- Foster sustained mentor-mentee relationships over the course of an academic year.
- Provide additional time for meaningful feedback and manuscript development.
- Increase access for doctoral students and early-career (pre-tenure) mathematics teacher educators who may not be able to attend the annual conference.
For Mentees
Early-career (pre-tenure) mathematics teacher educators and doctoral students who are interested in receiving support as they prepare and refine a manuscript for publication during the 2026–2027 academic year are encouraged to apply.
Mentee Timeline
- Wednesday, July 15: Manuscript abstracts and mentee applications due
- Wednesday, July 22: Acceptance notifications sent
- Wednesday, August 19: Manuscript Review Groups formed and email introductions sent
- By mid-September: Groups meet virtually to establish goals and develop a plan for the year
- September 2026–May 2027: Groups meet virtually at least four times, concluding by mid-May 2027
For Mentors
Experienced mathematics teacher education scholars with a history of publishing are invited to serve as mentors. Mentors will support one or more mentees throughout the academic year by providing feedback, guidance, and encouragement as manuscripts move toward submission.
