District Provided Professional Development
The Michigan Department of Education, in accordance with MCL 380.1527, allows all Michigan educators to use District Provided Professional Development (DPPD) toward the progression from the Michigan Provisional teaching certificate to the Professional Education certificate or for renewal of the following Michigan Department of Education issued certificates of licenses:
- Professional Education Certificate
- Occupational Education Certificate

Directions for logging DPPD hours in the MOECS site are below. In addition to following the directions from MDE, all teachers must ensure that a copy of the signed logs are on file in the Human Resources Office. Failure to do so, may result in the loss of DPPD hours in the event of an audit from MDE.
