AEA Alabama Educator Code of Ethics Training:

Cohort 2 Begins December 1, 2026!

First Cohort Reaches Capacity Following Overwhelming Demand

The Alabama Education Association (AEA) continues to support educators in meeting their professional certification requirements by offering convenient, online Alabama Educator Code of Ethics training at no cost to AEA members. Due to overwhelming interest, the first cohort of the AEA Educator Ethics Course has reached capacity. AEA is pleased to announce that registration is now open for Cohort 2, which begins December 1, 2026.

Alabama educators are required to complete 10 clock hours of professional learning in educator ethics as part of their certificate renewal requirements. Through the AEA Learning Hub, educators can access on-demand professional learning designed to help fulfill this requirement while providing the flexibility to balance training with classroom responsibilities and personal commitments.

The training focuses on the Alabama Educator Code of Ethics, reinforcing the professional standards, responsibilities, and ethical decision-making practices that guide educators in their interactions with students, families, colleagues, and communities.

As a valuable benefit of AEA membership, the training is available FREE to AEA members. Nonmembers may also participate in the training for a registration fee of $150.
