2023 Spring Professional Development (PD) Provider Registry

The Department is pleased to announce the 2023 Spring Professional Development (PD) Provider Registry application window. We are excited to begin the year with an opportunity for organizations to join the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) PD Provider Registry.

As you may know, the application is for:

1. providers interested in becoming approved and added to DESE's online registry,
2. approved providers seeking approval for additional content areas, and
3. providers who need to renew their three-year approval.

The Department welcomes a variety of providers, such as 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.

The online application will be available from Monday, February 13 through Wednesday, March 15 accessed through DESE's PD Resources & Tools for Providers page. The expected approval turnaround time is one to two months. Providers are encouraged to also consider providing online PD opportunities.
