Professional Learning

We offer myriad opportunities for members, aspiring educators, and education support staff to develop their skills, knowledge, and expertise as they help their students achieve to their highest potential.

MAE wants to make sure every member is confident in their job and confident in their ability to help Mississippi students reach their highest potential. We support professional development opportunities across a variety of formats, including online learning. 

Micro-Credentials

A micro-credential is a short, competency-based recognition. NEA offers more than 175 micro-credentials created by educators, for educators, to make it easier for everyone in the education profession to access professional learning opportunities throughout their careers.

Teacher-Licensure 

Licensure provides the professional and public assurance that educators have met State teaching standards and have demonstrated their readiness to teach and improve student learning.
