Activities

The ATEE tries to reach its aim through active dialogue and international exchange of research and practice in initial and in-service teacher education.

ATEE’s members come from a wide variety of countries within Europe and beyond. As a result, the ATEE is a multicultural association with a wide expertise on the various fields of teacher education.

ATEE tries to increase the cooperation between individuals and institutions involved in Teacher Education both inside and outside Europe by promoting international networks.

ATEE is a member of the LLL platform: http://lllplatform.eu.

The exchange of research and practice is facilitated by the publication of the European Journal of Teacher Education and the organisation of annual conferences.

The Research & Development Communities (RDCs) are the core of this organisation, creating a backbone for social coherence within the association. Theyprovide the first platform for dialogue, exchange and joint international activities between individuals and institutions.

In political dialogues the ATEE does not represent personal political opinions or standpoints, but takes a professional position, based on a shared knowledge on the required professionalism and professional development of teachers based on the collected theory and practical experience of its members.

Since the ATEE is a membership-based association, its activities are run by and aimed at its members.

Our Manifesto

At ATEE, we believe that education is the foundation of a just and forward-thinking society. Teacher education is not a support function ,  it is a driving force.

For decades, we have brought together researchers, educators, and policymakers from across Europe and beyond, united by a shared conviction: that the quality of teaching defines the quality of learning, and that investing in teachers means investing in every student they will ever reach.

Our manifesto is a statement of that conviction. It sets out the values that guide our work, the standards we hold ourselves to, and the future we are committed to building,  one where every teacher is equipped, respected, and empowered to make a difference.

Read it. Share it. Hold us to it.Manifesto
