Join a community of innovative CEF Expert teachers

Last updated on 3 June 2019

The programme Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Expert is a program dedicated to teachers. This exclusive programme encourages exchanges between teachers, gives rise to collaborations around digital technology and leads to a reflection on the use of technology in the world of education.

Each year Microsoft integrates several teachers into this global community, allowing them to share their projects, but also to make their peers want to try new approaches and learn from their experiences.

As a CEF Expert, you will be able to :

• Join a community of innovative teachers from around the world and collaborate with different CEF Experts
• Highlight your practices by producing articles, testimonials, videos and webinars relayed on Microsoft Education's social networks
• Participate in trainings exclusively reserved for CEF Expert as well as local and national events alongside Microsoft
• Be eligible to participate in the Microsoft Global Event Educator Exchange (E2) – this event brings together CEF Experts from around the world every year for 3 days of exchanges and presentations on the latest educational innovations

Want to join the CEF Experts community? Applications are open until 15 July 2019.
