Professional Development Points (PDPs) are a unit of measurement of professional development activities. One hour is equivalent to one PDP. Educators often need to have a certain number of PDPs to obtain or renew their license.
PDPs are managed by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). MEFA is certified by DESE as a registered provider of PDP's. All MEFA offerings, including live and recorded webinars, onsite trainings, and professional conference seminars, are aligned with MASCA's MA Model and MA Career Development Education (CDE) benchmarks.
