Associate members include constituent organizations with an interest in the preparation, continuing development, employment, and certification of educational personnel.
Ed Id Clearinghouse Database
*The Ed ID Clearinghouse is a secure, searchable national database that provides an immediate alert regarding individuals who have had their professional educator license or certificate annulled, denied, suspended, revoked, or otherwise invalidated.
The Ed ID Clearinghouse is now available to local education agencies (LEAs) both public and private as well as to approved educator preparation providers (EPPs). Learn more by watching this video.
