In my leadership role with MAEA I've become some what of an expert on the process of DESE certification and recertification. The process of navigating PDPs can be confusing and the DESE website is known for being hard to navigate. I've fielded questions around recertification for my colleagues and MAEA members, which has provided me with this knowledge. I've also served as a Supervising Practitioner for multiple teacher candidates which has provided me additional experience related to this topic. This is the second time presenting this conference session - the first time was at UMass Amherst and it was well attended and well received.
