Welcome to the Self-Study of Teacher Education

Currently, our  membership is approximately 200 scholars and practitioners from around the world!  We are eager to expand our membership and welcome teacher educators, teachers, and other practitioners who are interested in studying their own practice in order to contribute to professional learning, ways of knowing, and knowledge generation.

At the 2024 conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 11 - 14, we hosted numerous paper and round table sessions related to the conference theme Dismantling Racial Injustice and Constructing Educational Possibilities: A Call to Action." We also enjoyed high attendance and participation at our business meeting and reception.
