Arkansas Master & Lead Professional
Educator Designation Pathway
Bailey Education Group is proud to offer the Master & Lead Professional Educator Designation Pathways to Arkansas educators in K-12 school districts and cooperatives. These programs supports teacher leaders in fulfilling the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education's (DESE) requirements for both Master & Lead PLE designation, while continuing to make an impact in their current roles. Through a four-month or six-month cohort experience, participants strengthen instructional leadership by engaging in job-embedded activities focused on mentorship, data analysis, and professional development. Participants in this pathway are not employees or Consultants for Bailey Education Group. Instead, they are Arkansas educators who are either sponsored by their district, cooperative, or are self-funded participants.
Our Approach
At Bailey Education, we believe teacher leaders are the heart of school improvement. That’s why our pathway is grounded in The Bailey Way—combining deep educational expertise, individualized support, and a shared mission to improve the lives of all children.
Our facilitators are seasoned educators and former administrators who understand Arkansas schools and are committed to building capacity from within.
