The MIE Expert program is for anybody who supports teaching and learning and wants to expand their own practice, whether they are a professional learning specialist, a teacher, a school leader, an education coach, a curriculum specialist, or another type of specialist. It’s a group of independent educators who are enthusiastic about incorporating Microsoft technology into teaching and learning, encourage students to think creatively, and enjoy working in teams. MIE Experts have free access to programs for certification and professional growth. They also impart their knowledge by taking the lead in local training sessions, delivering talks at gatherings, publishing blogs, using social media, and more. They are inventive and business-minded, relishing the role of “change agent,” and use Microsoft technologies and cutting-edge teaching techniques to promote excellence in education.
