Lead professional educators
need training and support to lead students and colleagues effectively. ADE has
approved several micro-endorsements and competency-based programs that provide
job-embedded professional learning as pathways to the Lead Professional
Educator designation. In addition, several pathways have been approved that
lead to the Master Professional Educator designation. Once the Master
Professional Educator designation is earned, it remains on the teacher’s
license for the duration of his or her career.
