The Association of Teacher Educators was founded in 1920 and is the only national, individual membership organization devoted solely to the improvement of teacher education for both school and campus-based teacher educators. Today ATE members represent nearly 1300 teacher educators in colleges, universities, school districts, and state education agencies within 41 regional and state affiliated units and US Territories. 

The ATE office is located in the Washington, DC area where it represents its members' interests before governmental agencies and educational organizations. In addition, ATE has two voting seats on the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and has representation on the ERIC Clearinghouse on Teacher Education. ATE's representational form of governance offers ATE members an unusually high level of opportunity for national leadership.
