How Massachusetts Districts Approve iTeachAI for PDP Hours

Massachusetts educators document professional development through their Individual Professional Development Plan, which districts review and supervisors approve under district policy. Our application to the DESE Professional Development Provider Registry was filed on September 8, 2026 and is under review; until it is decided, your district and your IPDP determine which outside professional development counts, and every course includes a certificate with clock hours, instructor and completion date. Instead, our courses are standards-aligned, district-acceptable professional development that educators and districts may apply toward renewal at their discretion. The district route is simple:

1. A district designee reviews one or more courses through a no-cost reviewer account.
2. The district confirms the courses fit its professional development policy and the educator's IPDP.
3. Teachers complete courses, receive a Certificate of Completion, and document it toward their PDP total for renewal.

Always verify acceptance with your district and the DESE Office of Educator Licensure before applying any external professional development toward renewal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is iTeachAI Academy continuing education for already-licensed teachers, or initial teacher preparation?

It is continuing education for educators who are already licensed in Massachusetts and renewing their certificate. iTeachAI Academy provides clock hours toward your renewal. We do not prepare candidates for a first-time teaching credential and our courses do not lead to initial licensure.

How do I renew my Massachusetts teaching certificate?

Professional license holders renew every five calendar years by earning at least 150 Professional Development Points (PDPs) and submitting renewal through the DESE Educator Licensure and Renewal (ELAR) system. The 150 PDPs must include at least 15 in content, 15 in pedagogy, 15 in SEI or ESL, and 15 in strategies for students with disabilities, with the remaining 90 as electives. iTeachAI Academy courses provide clock hours and a Certificate of Completion you may document toward that total at your district's discretion.

Do iTeachAI courses count toward my 150 PDPs?

Each course provides ten clock hours of standards-aligned professional development with a Certificate of Completion. In Massachusetts, one clock hour generally equals one PDP, and a single topic must total at least 10 PDPs to count. Our application to the DESE Professional Development Provider Registry was filed on September 8, 2026 and is under review; until it is decided, your district and your IPDP determine which outside professional development counts, and every course includes a certificate with clock hours, instructor and completion date.

How many clock hours does each course provide?

Ten clock hours per course, suitable for documentation toward your Massachusetts PDP total. Massachusetts generally credits one PDP per clock hour, and a single topic must total at least 10 PDPs to count toward renewal.
