From ATE's President


We are almost at the end of the fall semester, and it is my honor to serve the community of global educators and to share my platform of “leaving a STAMP on education” across the United States and Europe.  The message of “leaving a STAMP,” is resounding, and educators are echoing it everywhere I go.  The message is so reverberating because ATE members are abroad and leaving a STAMP on education in their respective academic communities, representing the organization and the profession with passion and excellence all over the globe.  Thank you all for being an exemplary educator and leaving positive impressions on the lives you touch.
 
We have had a productive, engaging semester since ATE’s 2025 Summer Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, which was a stellar summer conference under the chairwomanship of Freddie Bowles, Marie Byrd, and Nancy Gallavan. Now, we are excited about ATE’s 2026 Annual Meeting in Crystal City – Arlington, VA in February, under the leadership of Terrell Brown and Valerie Wright and their innovative committee who are focused in their service to leave a STAMP on the Annual Meeting 2026. 
 
“Empowering a Global Community of Leaders to Leave a STAMP on Education,” is more than a theme; it is a MOVEMENT.  We educators are intentional about being leaders in Social Emotional Learning, Transformational Leadership, Multiculturalism, and Professional Practice.  We are not just part of a movement, but we are the MOVEMENT.  As we impart knowledge, engage our students in skillful classroom activities, impact policies, extend care and patience, embrace differences, and implement trending and respected professional practices, we become the movement that is necessary to empower and to be change-agents in the communities that need our voices and our expertise.
 
ATE is excited that over 500 proposals were submitted for the upcoming, anticipated 2026 Annual Meeting in Crystal City, VA, at the fabulous Hyatt Regency, February 8-11, 2026.  We are enthusiastic about “leaving a STAMP on education” through our scholarly engagement with members, newcomers, potential members and the whole community of global educational leaders.  Registration is open – CLICK HERE. Learning and sharing have never been so much fun and empowering!
 
 Lastly, we are entering the glorious holiday season, a season of blissful reflection, celebration, and rejuvenation.  As educators, we reflect on our semester—what went well and what needs improvement.  We celebrate our colleagues, students and mentors/mentees who have excelled this semester, withstood challenges, and showed support for our endeavors. We submit our grades and rejuvenate through sharing, relaxing, and spending time with our families and friends.  Moreover, we embrace our contribution to education and appreciate the time and effort we extend to ensure that the next generation of educators are prepared.  Thank you, Educators, for your service.  Remember, you are appreciated, you matter, and you empower others by leaving a STAMP on education!
