AILACTE's Journal and Monographs

2011 Call for Manuscripts (Word) were due July 1, 2011

The AILACTE Journal is a refereed journal with national representation on its editorial review board published by the Association of Independent Liberal Arts Colleges for Teacher Education. The AILACTE Journal is documented by ERIC.

The journal, published annually, solicits manuscripts concerned with teacher education, including teaching and learning, induction, in-service education, and pre-service education. Project descriptions, research reports, theoretical papers, debates, papers espousing a particular point of view, and descriptions of activities or issues in teacher education at the local, state, or national level would be appropriate topics for the journal. Generally the journal is non-themed.

The cost of an additional copy of the journal is $10 and can be ordered during the membership renewal process each winter.

Want to look at a previous year's journal? These are available for your perusal:

2008 Monograph: Liberal Arts and Teacher Preparation: A Lasting Relationship

The monograph was a joint venture of the Association for Independent Liberal Arts Colleges for Teacher Education and the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash College. Monograph editors included Deborah Butler, Michele Pittard, Charlie Blaich (Wabash College and Center of Inquiry) and Jackie McDowell (AILACTE). Reviewers of manuscripts were selected from AILACTE institutions. A few copies of the monograph are available for purchase at $20. Contact us if you are interested.



Additional Series Volumes:

  • AILACTE also has published a monograph series of four volumes. The last of the series, entitled Partnerships in Teacher Education: Schools and Colleges Working Together, is no longer available. However, do look for it on Amazon as copies do occasionally become available.
  • A View from the Top: Liberal Arts Presidents on Teacher Education (which featured leaders of AILACTE institutions)
  • A View from the Academy: Liberal Arts Professors on Excellent Teaching (which contained articles written by arts and sciences colleagues of AILACTE members), and
  • Promising Practices: Teacher Education in Liberal Arts Colleges (which described especially successful programs at AILACTE institutions).
