ATE Past Presidents

The Association of Teacher Educators has been around since 1920 advocating for and supporting those in the teaching profession. Dr. Judy Beck was President in 2020-2021 and Dr. Rachelle Rogers was President in 2022-2023. Drs. Beck and Rogers share recent initiatives such as the recently created Clinical Practice Standards and the revised Teacher Educator Standards. They also share a new book on Advocacy that should be coming out before their 2025 Summer Conference in St. Louis.With ATE's upcoming 2025 Annual Meeting in New Orleans just a couple of weeks away, there's still time to register! Beginning with workshops on March 8th and sessions spanning the 9th through 11th, the meeting is sure to have on topic information for teachers and teacher leaders in all levels of the profession.Also discussed is ATE's Leadership Academy which meets immediately prior to the spring annual meeting and members are nominated. With four areas of focus: Education; Leadership; Culture; and Partnerships, the academy is made up of active involvement experiences rather than a series of presentations.Dr. Rogers also mentions a resource funded by a National Science Foundation, NSF, grant that four associations have created a website for surrounding repairing the reputation of the teaching profession called Get the Facts Out.
