The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is pleased to announce the Fall 2021 Professional Development (PD) Provider Registry Application for PD providers interested in either becoming approved, seeking approval for additional content areas, or for those who need to renew their three-year approval status. DESE welcomes a variety of new and continuing providers, i.e., professional organizations, non-public schools, not-for-profit organizations, private and for profit organizations, individuals, educational partnerships, corporations, educational agencies, and associations whose PD programs demonstrate the characteristics of the Massachusetts Standards for High Quality Professional Development.
The online application will be available from September 9 through October 7, via Professional Development Resources & Tools for Providers - Professional Development. Applications will be reviewed starting October 11, in order of receipt, with an expected turnaround time of up to 4–6 weeks (depending on the volume of applications). PD registry application questions may be emailed via profdev@doe.mass.edu.
