Institutional membership keeps your college/department "in the know" for all things related to teacher preparation as well as providing institutional membership for many faculty in your program. 1-75 teacher education grads -- $260 (plus 3 faculty members) IHE's/programs that also are members of AACTE (one of our parent associations), receive one additional faculty PAC-TE membership with their paid membership.

Dear PAC-TE members,
Our longtime colleague and friend, Dr. Jay Hertzog, has indicated that his current contract as the Executive Director of PAC-TE will be his last. I am chairing a search committee comprised of several members of the PAC-TE Board of Directors. Our task, of course, is to find Jay’s successor. Clicking on this link will take you to the posting for the position in PDF format. The search committee and I would very much appreciate it if you could share it as widely as possible and encourage anyone to apply who you believe would be a great Executive Director.
PAC-TE has a very strong voice in educator preparation in Pennsylvania. Our Executive Director is an important reason why this is the case. Please help us find someone to succeed Jay who can continue the work needed for us to remain strong.
Thank you very much.
George Drake
PAC-TE Past President and Search Committee Chair
