Professional Development

We're driving education policy conversations among stakeholders and delivering professional learning opportunities to members across the state.

We advocate for you in the classroom.

CEA’s Teaching & Learning team works with educators across the state to drive changes to education policy in Colorado in order to provide an exceptional classroom for every student in Colorado.

Teaching is tough business – so don’t go it alone. CEA’s innovative online learning platform, COpilot, delivers relevant resources to give you a professional edge so you can help every student thrive. Online courses are fully blended and facilitated by your colleagues, and COpilot’s built-in social network forum, COnnect, gives you a place to meet, greet and create with other Colorado educators. We can all use a COpilot to soar higher and go further in our profession.

Summer Leadership Conference

Our premier professional learning event of the year brings 200+ members together from across Colorado every June to build skills and share knowledge. Members make their own conference schedules and attend a wide variety of workshops offered by experienced trainers with unique professional perspectives. The conference also features a distinguished lineup of speakers who give powerful insights on the critical education issues of the day.

 

Leadership Development for Bargaining & Organizing

Throughout the year, we have a variety of opportunities for interested members to get more involved in our union by providing support, training, mentorship, and networking opportunities.

Helping CEA members become the policy leaders of tomorrow

The CEA Ambassador Fellowship helps CEA members, both teachers and support professionals, expand their knowledge and ability to influence educational policy and professional practice at the local and state level. Through the fellowship, we amplify educator voice on issues that influence public education like quality learning, working conditions, and civic engagement.
