The Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education is the official journal of the National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators. Its purpose is to provide a forum for consideration of issues and for exchange of information and ideas about research and practice in early childhood teacher education. Teacher education can focus on pre-service teacher preparation and in-service professional development. For the purposes of manuscripts published in JECTE, early childhood education generally is considered from birth through grade 3. JECTE welcomes research manuscripts and reflective reports on innovative teacher education practices.
JECTE is published by Taylor and Francis. Manuscripts submitted to JECTE should be uploaded electronically at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ujec.
