The Australian Teacher Education Association (ATEA) is the major professional association for teacher educators in Australia. The mission of the Australian Teacher Education Association is to promote:

• The preservice and continuing education of teachers in all forms and contexts;
• Teacher education as central in the educational enterprise of the nation;
• Research on teacher education as a core endeavour.

The Association enacts this mission through several key strategies, namely:

• to foster improvement in initial teacher education;
• to engage in national advocacy for teacher education;
• to promote and support the teaching profession;
• to form strong links with individuals and organisations involved in educational change;
• to improve the nature, quality and availability of professional development for teachers educators, and

• to promote and disseminate research, ideas and practices, innovation and evaluation in teacher education.
