The CALIE Certified Educator Program is an eight-month professional learning experience designed for educators who are ready to strengthen their leadership, drive innovation, and lead meaningful improvement within their schools, districts, and educational organizations.
Through collaborative learning, applied leadership experiences, and ongoing coaching, participants develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead educational improvement, foster innovation, and support systems change. The program explores leadership and systems change frameworks alongside evidence-informed approaches to instructional improvement, effective technology integration, digital equity, and learner-centered design.
As the culminating capstone experience, participants develop an Innovation Leadership Impact Plan that identifies a meaningful challenge or opportunity within their educational setting and outlines a practical strategy for leading improvement, innovation, and sustainable change. Participants receive feedback from peers and experienced education leaders as they assess current needs, articulate the rationale for their selected focus, refine their ideas through feedback, and develop an actionable plan to improve teaching and learning.
By the conclusion of the program, participants will have developed a leadership portfolio that demonstrates their readiness to guide innovation, support colleagues, strengthen learning systems, and lead meaningful change in education.

亚色影库 – Graduate-Level Extension Credit Information
The 亚色影库 partners with this program to offer graduate-level extension credit(s) in semester hours through the Credit Validation Program. To earn units, participants must register for and successfully complete coursework through the external program provider.
Credits earned through 亚色影库’s Credit Validation Program are widely accepted by many school districts and universities across the United States for purposes such as license renewal, required professional development hours, short-term skill building, salary advancement, credentialing, and potential advanced degree pathways.
These units do not apply toward a master’s or higher degree program at the 亚色影库; however, they may be transferable to advanced degree programs (e.g., MA, EdD, PhD) at other institutions that accept external graduate-level credits.
Participants are responsible for confirming acceptance, transcript requirements, deadlines, and applicability of units with their employing district or intended institution prior to enrollment.
