Apple Teacher is a free professional learning programme designed to support and celebrate educators using Apple products for teaching and learning. As an educator you can build skills on iPad and Mac that directly apply to activities with your students, earn recognition for the new things you learn and be rewarded for the great work you do every day.
When you sign up for Apple Teacher, you'll start a self-paced journey through the Apple Teacher Learning Center, a personalised online learning experience that you can access from anywhere!
The programme is a great way for schools and districts to offer free professional learning that their staff can work through together. Whether you're new to Apple products or have been using them for years, whether you have a single device or one for every student, Apple Teacher has the tools you need to use iPad and Mac to connect with all learners.
The Apple Teacher Learning Center has everything teachers need to build a strong foundation for using iPad, Mac and Apple apps like Pages, Keynote, Numbers, GarageBand and iMovie in the classroom. Discover skill‑building tutorials, lesson ideas and inspiration to deepen student learning. Join Apple Teacher or sign in to explore new resources.
When you’re ready, test the new skills you’ve learned and put your lesson ideas into practice. Three recognitions offer different ways to be rewarded for doing your very best teaching — teaching that gives students more connected, creative, collaborative and personal learning experiences.

Apple Professional Learning offerings provide educators with many ways to build foundational skills with Apple products, integrate them into class activities and create innovative instruction that deeply engages your students, no matter where learning happens.
Learn from mentor educators who share their expertise in integrating Apple products into teaching and learning. They regularly write and publish digital books created with Pages and speak at educational events. You can find ADEs on Twitter chats every Tuesday evening throughout the school year, where they answer questions and share ideas, tips and experience teaching with Apple products.
Once educators in your school have acquired foundational skills through the Apple Teacher programme, and are integrating them into their everyday practice, they’ll be ready to focus on innovating with the help of Apple Professional Learning Specialists.
