Become an Apple Distinguished Educator

We're excited to host applications for a new ADE Class of 2023. We welcome your comments and conversations about the program here.

Very excited to be applying this year! As a drum teacher, the iPad in particular is like magic with digital scores, backing tracks, automatic page turns and notes!

I kniw the info us in the application but I haven’t started yet. Can you tell me where and when the in-person sessions are? Thank you!

I submitted all of my application, but it said that the video failed to upload. I did it again this morning but I haven't received confirmation that it was received. How can I verify this? I don't want to be taken out of consideration!

Loved the process of applying for ADE Class of 2023! Excited to hear how we all go - good luck to all

When is the next application cycle for Apple Distinguished Educators?

Applications usually open up every two years.

When will you make selections and inform us? I'm really excited this program is back open and hope to participate.

Is this an annual program? If not, in what year was the last cohort selected?

Our last Class was selected in 2019. We have paused the program during the pandemic and the Class of 2023 is our first new class since 2019.

Devastated that I missed the information on applying for the 2023 cohort. How are the cohorts announced? Will there be another application in 2024? Any information on the best place to watch for announcements would be appreciated! Good luck to all who applied in 2023!!

Hi CoolTeach03!

Are you an Apple Teacher? One place to find notifications about ADE applications in the Apple Teacher newsletter.

Have applications closed for ADE for 2023 in the UK? I started an application however was too busy with work to finish it before Easter. I was planning on completing it but now the application seems to have disappeared. Also the page about becoming an ADE doesn't have any links to an application form?
