2026 Summer PD Provider Application

DESE welcomes a variety of providers to join the Professional Development (PD) Provider Registry each year. Providers may include professional organizations, non-public schools, not-for-profit organizations, private and for-profit organizations, individuals, educational partnerships, corporations, educational agencies, and associations whose programs demonstrate characteristics of the Massachusetts Standards for High Quality PD. DESE has one annual application window: from June through September, organizations can apply to become a provider, add new content, or renew their approval. The Department is accepting applications until Tuesday, September 8. Application forms are posted on DESE's PD Resources & Tools for Providers page. The expected approval turnaround time is one to two months. Send any questions to profdev@doe.mass.edu .
