Welcome to the Educator Certification Blog
The Arizona Department of Education has launched a new certification system, and the certificate has a new look.
- The transition to the new system will begin on September 24, 2024, with full implementation by Monday, September 30, 2024.
- Beginning September 24th through September 29th, the online Educator Certification System will be offline, and applications will not be processed; this will ensure that all data is transferred accurately to the new system.
- Beginning Monday, September 30th, the new system will be live and ready for our educators to begin submitting applications.
Please note that all educators will need an ADE Connect account to re-register in the new system. Please follow the online instructions for registration to ensure a profile match in the database.
