The Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators is double-blind, peer-reviewed, and published once per year in conjunction with the GAMTE Annual Conference. Each year, submission is open to all presenters at the current year’s conference.

Upon submission, the editor of the current year’s Proceedings will assign your manuscript to a panel of blind reviewers who will evaluate the manuscript on the following criteria:

  • Quality of APA Issues
  • Quality of Introduction
  • Quality of Theoretical Framework and/or Literature Review
  • Quality of Methods
  • Quality of Report of Findings
  • Quality of Conclusion
  • Quality of Miscellaneous Issues

Reviewers will further provide relevant editorial feedback and recommendations. Based on reviewers’ feedback, the editor will either accept, provisionally accept, or reject the manuscript for publication. If your manuscript is accepted or provisionally accepted, the editor will work with you to prepare the final version of your work for publication.
