From the President:


We are Making a Difference! In February at the AILACTE Annual meeting, I graciously accepted the duties of President of this association. I believe in the mission of this association which is to support and position the role of liberal arts teacher education programs at the national level. As the federal government scrutinizes teacher education programs, I want AILACTE to have a strong, united voice about teacher preparation and producing candidates of quality that are making a difference in the P-12 arena. Our voice can only be united when we maximize the membership in this association. I appreciate those consistent members who have been with us since the beginning. They recognize that representation in this association enables them to speak freely about issues that concern their institutions and that through attendance at the annual meeting, submitting scholarly articles to the journal, and networking with other members, they can make a difference in teacher education. I look forward to working for the next two years in an association that I believe is a part of the solution when it comes to teacher education. I appreciate your support of my presidency and I envision a productive partnership. -Dwight C. Watson
