Contributing to the MTRJ has made a significant impact on the way I view education. I discovered that I can contribute to the field of education as both a classroom teacher & a researcher. The duality of research & practice was what I found the most intriguing about the MT program, & the MTRJ bridges these two entities together.  It is an honour to contribute to the first issue, & I am looking forward to strengthening ties between researchers & classroom teachers to improve the learning experiences of students. ”

The MT program vision for the MTRJ is that the journal not only reflect meaningful dialogical engagement, but that it also further generate that engagement within the public sphere and across a broad range of education stakeholders. In other words, it is our hope that as a mechanism for cross-pollination of ideas and knowledge mobilization, its contents not only say something, but that they also do something. We are sincerely looking forward to the conversations and collaborations ahead. ”
