The Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Teacher Educators publishes a yearly journal — the Pennsylvania Teacher Educator.

Publication decisions are made following a blind review process.

  1. Manuscripts should be no more than 12 pages of narrative (exclusive of references, tables, and appendices), using the latest APA style, and double-spaced on one side of 8-1/2” by 11” paper with one-inch margins. The original and five copies should be submitted.

  2. Manuscripts should be submitted as an e-mail attachment, sent to jimnolan@psu.edu and sxh4@psu.edu.

  3. A cover page should include the title of the article, a brief (50-word) abstract, the name, position, place of employment, mailing address, phone number, e-mail address, and a 2-3 sentence description of background and experience of each author.

  8. Authors of manuscripts accepted for publication are also expected to make a roundtable presentation about their article at the PAC-TE Teacher Education Assembly in October.
