Welcome to the Australian Teacher Education Association (ATEA), the professional association for teacher educators across Australia since 1988.

ATEA strengthens teacher education through research, professional learning and advocacy. We connect educators, researchers and partners through our annual conference, virtual seminars and professional networks, creating opportunities to exchange ideas, enhance practice and foster innovation.

Our publications and research activities, including the Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education and our book series, extend the reach and impact of scholarship. We also advocate for the sector, recognise our teacher educator members’ contributions, and support early career researchers, higher degree research candidates and sessional staff.

ATEA is guided by strong governance, and is committed to responsible leadership, inclusion and meaningful engagement with First Nations peoples and perspectives.

Connection and belonging are at the heart of ATEA. As President, I am proud to lead an association known for its welcoming community—a culture created and sustained by our members. I thank our past and current members for embracing and strengthening this culture.

If you are not already a member, I warmly invite you to participate in our community and help shape the future of teacher education.

Kind Regards

Amanda Gutierrez President, Australian Teacher Education Association
