Society information

The ATEE aims to enhance the quality of Teacher Education in Europe through active dialogue and international exchange of research and practice in initial and in-service teacher education.

Teacher Education implies all activities, which develop and enhance the professional competences of teachers, during initial, induction and in-service phases of their careers. Such activities could be offered by institutes for higher education, by government departments (or ministries) of education, by schools as employers of teachers, by teachers themselves and by any other commercial or non-commercial initiative. Active dialogue involves different participants.

The ATEE wants to stimulate the dialogue between teacher educators, researchers on teacher education, students, teachers, employers, politicians, inspectorate, ngo’s on education and any other group involved in teacher education, research and innovation in (teacher) education.

International exchange is not restricted to Europe. Teacher educators in Europe can learn from each other but also from experiences, research and ideas from outside Europe. Similarly, European experience, knowledge and research can support teacher educators outside Europe in the general enhancement of the quality of teacher education throughout the world.

Research and practice can be used to raise knowledge and understanding of the most effective ways in which to educate teachers. Therefore, we try to find a fruitful combination of both research and practice, which can lead to a synthesis of both theoretical and practical knowledge.

Each year ATEE hosts three conferences throughout Europe hosted by institutional members of the Association; a winter conference, spring conference and an annual three day event. The details for the 2022 events are now available:
