 SPECIAL STUDY GROUPS (SSG)  SSGs were established in 1988 by the Board of Directors to provide a forum for AACTE representatives and other interested persons to come together and discuss topics of interest. Applications to establish an SSG requires an action by AACTE's Board of Directors, and each applying group must have a requisite number of representatives from AACTE member institutions, as well as a statement of purpose that indicates a contribution to the practice of teacher education. To date there are twelve SSGs (described below). Anyone wishing to join an existing SSG should contact that SSG's chair directly, and anyone wishing to establish a new SSG should contact AACTE.
