Editorial: Mathematics Teacher Educator: An Opportunity to Share, Verify, and Improve
Mathematics Teacher Educator is the first journal dedicated specifically to issues in mathematics teacher education, providing a much-needed forum for supporting and improving the practice of educating teachers of mathematics. As the Editorial Panel articulated in the call for manuscripts (http://www.amte.net/publications/mte), the mission of Mathematics Teacher Educator 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 means for practitioner knowledge related to the preparation and support of teachers of mathematics to be not only shared but also verified and improved over time. The journal is a tool to build the personal knowledge that mathematics educators gain from their practice into a trustworthy knowledge base that can be shared with the profession.”
