TEL-AR creates a community of learning leaders through collaboration and mentorships. The Certified Educational Technology Leader (CETL) Program provides a robust framework that guides growth for all school leaders. Lastly TEL-AR seeks to increase the representation of technology leaders in both the district administrative cabinet and at the State level.
