Recertification Guidelines for Massachusetts Educators
Professional Development Points (PDPs): Effective July 28, 2017, the required distribution of PDPs for all academic educators renewing a Professional level license has been amended as stated in the regulations(CMR 603 44.05). The required minimum breakdown to renew a Primary area is as follows:
License Renewal:
At least 15 PDPs in content (subject matter knowledge)
At least 15 PDPs in pedagogy (professional skills and knowledge)
At least 15 PDPs related to Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) or English as a Second Language (ESL)
At least 15 PDPs related to training in strategies for effective schooling for students with disabilities and the instruction of students with diverse learning styles
The remaining required 90 PDPs may be earned through any combination of “elective” activities that address other educational issues and topics that improve student learning, additional content, or pedagogy.
The renewal of each Additional area license(s) will require 30 PDPs, of which 15 out of the 30 must be content related.
