Teacher Leaders' Academy Reservation Form 2026-2027

ADE believes teacher leadership extends far beyond the classroom. For educators who want to continue making a difference with their students while increasing their impact across campus, this program offers a pathway for growth. Grounded in the Arizona Teacher Leader Standards, participants will engage in four full-day, in-person sessions focused on key leadership competencies. Between quarterly sessions, educators will have the opportunity to meet virtually in collaborative cohorts to reflect, apply learning, and explore topics tailored to their professional goals and interests. This blended approach creates a personalized and supportive environment for developing leadership capacity and expanding educational impact.
