Teacher Leader, PreK-12 Endorsement Training Approval Process and Approved Trainings

Teacher Leader, PreK-12 Endorsement Approval Process

The Teacher Leader, PreK–12 endorsement is optional but recommended for individuals serving as mentor teachers, consultants, instructional coaches, professional development facilitators, or a similar leadership role.

COMING SOON!

Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) that offer courses leading to an Arizona Teacher Leader, PreK-12 endorsement do not need formal approval to be accepted towards the Teacher Leader endorsement requirements. It should be noted that there is no State Board of Education approval process for endorsement programs at any level. To assist the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) Certification staff in evaluation applications for the Teacher Leader endorsement, IHEs will need to complete a course matrix. To receive a course matrix, please contact ADE staff: [email protected]
