The Association of Teacher Educators<\/a> (ATE) is a national organization focused on the improvement of the teacher education process, dedicating attention to preparing teacher candidates and promoting quality teacher education. It\u2019s the only organization of its kind — and it\u2019s now led by a Baylor faculty member and alumna<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dr. Rachelle Meyer Rogers<\/a> (Ed.D. 2005), a clinical associate professor in Baylor\u2019s School of Education<\/a>, assumes the role of ATE president this month after serving as vice president last year. She was elected to the role in the Fall of 2020, chosen by her peers to lead an organization that she calls the \u201cprotector\u201d of the teaching profession.<\/p>\n \u201cI am thrilled to have a voice on a national stage,\u201d Rogers says. \u201cTeachers — and those who educate teachers — are seeing unprecedented challenges. Teachers must have an active voice and a leadership role in what is happening in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n At Baylor, Rogers supervises teaching candidates in their field experiences, in addition to her teaching and research responsibilities. She\u2019s well-versed in education leadership, with experience as president and chair of the Central Texas Council of Teachers of Mathematics and three years spent as associate editor for the Texas Mathematics Teacher Journal<\/em>. As ATE president, she\u2019ll play a meaningful role in shaping the organization\u2019s future footprint, with goals to diversify ATE membership, invite additional K-12 educators to participate, and advocate for equity in education.<\/p>\n Sic \u2019em, Dr. Rogers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Association of Teacher Educators (ATE) is a national organization focused on the improvement of the teacher education process, dedicating attention to preparing teacher candidates and promoting quality teacher education.
