The Arizona K12 Center is the professional home for Arizona’s educators. For 25 years, we’ve been supporting educators across the state in advancing their practice for the benefit of all students. We want to ensure that you not only feel strong and supported but also confident in the impactful work that you accomplish in the classroom.
The Arizona K12 Center supports teachers through:
- Induction support and services for teachers in years 0-3 of their career.
- Robust mentor training and ongoing support.
- Varied professional learning opportunities to support educators seeking to enhance their professional knowledge and skills.
- Support for educators pursuing National Board Certification.
- Teacher leadership opportunities for professionals seeking growth and new experiences.
To effectively serve students, educators need support and professional learning opportunities to feel prepared to educate students, achieve their goals, build a professional community, and stay sustained and retained in their career. We aim to equip and empower Arizona’s educators with the systems, supports, and networks to best educate students, achieve their goals, build a professional community, and stay sustained in their career.
