2. Mathematics Teacher Educator - The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) are excited to announce their new collaborative venture - a joint online journal: Mathematics Teacher Educator.  Mathematics Teacher Educator will contribute to building a professional knowledge base for mathematics teacher educators that stems from, develops, and strengthens practitioner knowledge. The journal will provide a means for practitioner knowledge related to the preparation and support of teachers of mathematics to be not only public, shared, and stored, but also verified and improved over time (Hiebert, Gallimore, and Stigler 2002).
   
   Mathematics Teacher Educator is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal for practitioners. Initially, two issues of the journal will be published each year.
   
   The primary audience of Mathematics Teacher Educator is practitioners in mathematics teacher education, with practitioner broadly defined as anyone who contributes to the preparation and professional development of pre-K–12 pre-service and in-service teachers of mathematics. Mathematics teacher educators include mathematics educators, mathematicians, teacher leaders, school district mathematics experts, and others.
   
   A full call for manuscripts and the online submission and reviewer registration system can be found at http://www.nctm.org/mte
