Thank you for requesting a K12Verified Badge!

As you know, K12Leaders is designed to be a safe, authentic, and collaborative environment for the conversations and work that needs to happen to strengthen K12 education. Part of that involves ensuring the identity and role our members play in the educational process.

If you are an educator, staff member, or administrator you are invited to request an orange K12Verified badge that will appear next to your name on many places in our network.

Please follow the instructions below to complete this free application. The more information you can provide, the more easily we will be able to complete your verification.

Also, please note that K12Verified badges are issued at the discretion of K12Leaders. We will modify or suspend verification should we feel it appropriate to maintain the integrity of conversation and collaboration in this community. Examples of things that may cause that are “flags” reported by other community members, behavior or language that is not consistent with our terms of service, or misrepresentation of your identity or professional role.

Badges are only available to active educators, staff, and administrators at this time. Verification programs for solution providers, consultants, and other members of the K12 community are under development.

Thank you- We’re glad you’re here!
