Action in Teacher Education is published as a service to members of the Association of Teacher Educators and people concerned with teacher education. This journal serves as a forum for the exchange of information and ideas related to the improvement of teacher education and teacher educators in all capacities. Articles focus upon concepts, practices and research that offer implications and applicability for practitioners involved with teacher education. Though the primary audience is national, international studies that make clear connections to a wide range of teacher education programs are welcome.
Action in Teacher Education is an official publication of the Association of Teacher Educators (ATE). Manuscripts are subject to a double anonymous review. Points of view and opinions are those of individual authors and are not necessarily those of the Association. Published manuscripts are the property of ATE. Permission to reproduce articles must be requested from the editors.
Thematic and non-thematic issues are published. Articles focus on pedagogical innovations and reports of empirical research and conceptual essays.
Peer Review Policy:
All articles in this journal will undergo initial editor screening, rigorous double-anonymous peer review, and review by the editorial board.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
