Briefly describe the journal’s mission (aim, audience, etc).
The mission of this journal is to provide a rich repository online of articles of general interest that focuses on mathematics teacher education that appeals to an international audience.
Types of articles published.
Articles that are published are diverse. They are interested in articles that are research-oriented on one extreme, to articles that are “think” pieces that present new ideas in the mathematics education space. They emphasize the importance of their role in the sharing of ideas and findings from research.

Also range of studies to include a lesson study |
Quantitative, Qualitative and mixed methods, Case studies and Lesson study |
7 articles total. Three from Australia; 2 from New Zealand; 1 from Canada; 1 from the US. |
All but one of the articles had a specific focus on preservice teacher development either in the classroom (clinical) or through professional training. |
The themes that emerge on what is being published
I looked at two publications of this journal. Each edition had a clear focus. The first emphasized teacher practices; the second emphasized teacher educator and preservice teacher practice.
Vol 21, No 1. The first (Vol 20, No 3) centered on developing and improving practice and therefore was very practitioner centered. For example, this journal edition had two articles on noticing but all the articles emphasized some aspect of a teacher or preservice teacher practice. The last article in this journal was entitled, Transforming In-service teachers’ practice by using teaching through problem-solving. This highlights one teacher educator’s attempt to implement an instructional model using problem-based instruction to train in-service teachers to transform their practice.
Vol 20, No 3. The second centered on the pre-service teacher. It presented two articles on how to strengthen the pre-service teachers’ content and pedagogical content knowledge. Another article dealt with co-teaching. One article I found particularly interesting looked at how collaborative self-study can improve outcomes for pre-service teachers. It uses a self-assessment or self-study to help facilitate changes in curriculum work of pre-service teachers.
