Issues in Teacher Education is a peer- reviewed journal published twice yearly by the California Council on Teacher Education (CCTE). Issues in Teacher Education publishes original manuscripts focusing on topics, concerns, and methodologies for improving the quality of teacher education broadly defined to include pre-service preparation, the induction years, and the professional development of career teachers.
Founded in 1945, the California Council on the Education of Teachers (now the California Council on Teacher Education as of July 2001) is a non-profit organization devoted to stimulating the improvement of the pre-service and in-service education of teachers and administrators. The Council attends to this general goal with the support of a community of teacher educators, drawn from diverse constituencies, who seek to be informed, reflective, and active regarding significant research, sound practice, and current public educational issues.
The CCTE Spring 2013 Conference will be held April 11-13 around the theme “Teacher Leaders.”
