TED-Ed is bringing together 28 thoughtful and innovative educators to try something new this summer: the TED-Ed Innovative Educator program. To learn more about the idea, read on!

The TED-Ed Innovative Educator program is a year-long professional development program for educators who are dedicated to celebrating the ideas of teachers and students around the world. As TED’s on-the-ground education ambassadors and advocates, TED-Ed Innovative Educators will engage in training, leadership activities and innovation projects that help people make the most of TED-Ed resources to drive student curiosity. If all goes well, more TED-Ed Innovative Educators will join an outstanding, supportive and ever-growing community of leaders in education from K-12 and university settings worldwide.

The program is currently in closed beta. The founding cohort of TED-Ed Innovative Educators is about to begin eight weeks of training during summer 2015. To read stories about this cohort’s innovation and leadership adventures after training — and to be alerted when we begin accepting applications to the next (open beta) cohort of TED-Ed Innovative Educators — sign up for the TED-Ed newsletter here >>
