Professional Development Plan Support for Educators

Under PI 34, initial educators and those seeking to advance from initial educators to professional educators must complete a Professional Development Plan (PDP) in order to renew their license.

The UW-River Falls offers a variety of ways to encourage and support educators who are working on their PDP.
