How to join the Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert program 

If you’re a teacher, school leader, professional learning specialist, education coach, curriculum specialist, or anyone who supports teaching and learning and wants to grow your own practice, the Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Expert program is for you! MIE Experts get access to free professional and career development opportunities and certification programs. They also share their learning by playing leading roles in regional training sessions, giving presentations at conferences, writing blogs, engaging in social channels, and more.

To join this diverse and exciting community, follow these four easy steps to nominate yourself:

Step 1: Join Microsoft Learn and create your profile. You'll be asked to share the URL to your achievements in Learn (learn.microsoft.com > Profile picture > Profile > Achievements) by copying it and pasting it into the nomination form.

Step 2: Complete these three Learning Paths:

• Microsoft Educator Academy
• Master Microsoft Teams for Any Learning Environment
• 21st Century Learning Design

Step 3: Start collecting evidence and working through these questions to plan your nomination: MIE Expert Nomination Questions. MIEEs are expected to use at least two of our core tools on a regular basis (Teams, OneNote, Forms, Minecraft Education, Flip), and are expected to understand and demonstrate how our suite of solutions supports teaching and learning.

Step 4: Nominate yourself at https://msedu.eventcore.com by June 26, 2023 (nominations are only open once each year).

The 2023-2024 cohort of MIE Experts will be announced at the end of July 2023.  We look forward to welcoming you into the growing MIE Expert community and celebrating innovation in teaching and learning together!
