⭐ Built for Massachusetts educators
Open to Massachusetts teachers, specialists, counselors, and administrators earning PDPs toward license renewal. Renewing your primary license takes at least 150 PDPs, including at least 15 each in content, pedagogy, SEI/ESL, and students with disabilities and diverse learning styles. For Teachers By Teachers is a DESE-registered PD provider in the English Language Learners content area, and this course falls in that area. We don't claim it counts toward the 15 SEI/ESL PDPs; you confirm which renewal area each course counts toward. Works for any PreK–12 role, in or out of the classroom.
