About ATPE

Leadership ATPE
Leadership ATPE is a dynamic one-year program that offers valuable professional development, leadership training, and networking opportunities for professionals who are (relatively) new to the education field and our association. This year-long educational program will focus on the skills that emerging leaders need to best serve their schools and communities, pursue leadership roles within ATPE, and advance their careers—including public speaking and presentation skills, strategic thinking practices, building connections, enhancing interpersonal communication, advocacy, and more. Participants will attend two expense-paid weekend learning retreats, network with their colleagues throughout the year, and be recognized during the ATPE Summit.
Leadership ATPE takes place every two years, and ATPE members are invited to apply for the 2021-22 program year starting May 3, 2021. Candidates selected for the program will be notified of program acceptance in June or July.
Please review all of the application requirements and selection criteria below before submitting an application. Applicants must pay an application fee. All other program expenses, including study materials and travel costs for the fall and spring retreats, will be covered by ATPE.
