YOUR PDP TEAM TO APPROVE
INITIAL EDUCATOR: License for the first 5 years of a beginning teacher – they then apply for the Professional Educator License
PROFESSIONAL EDUCATOR: License for a cycle of every 5 years with PDPs that describe/measure professional learning/growth
MASTER EDUCATOR: After achieving a Professional Educator License, an educator can choose to develop, implement and document mastery in their area of licensure through testing/National Board Certification – renewable every 10 years
As of September 1, 2012, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction will no longer accept paper versions of form PI-PDP-2 (PDP Verification Signature Form).
Regardless of whether you have completed your PDP in paper form, you are required to submit your verification form utilizing either one of the service providers listed in the resource section. They, in turn, will electronically submit your information to DPI.
If you have completed your PDP and have had your plan verified by your three-person PDP team, there is no cost associated with having one of the service providers submit your verification information to our office.
Please remember that initial educators are still required to have their goals approved by their PDP team. The PDP service providers below can facilitate the goal approval process for you. You are no longer required to submit copies of your goal approval signature forms to DPI. However, you must retain your goal approval signature forms and be made available to PDP team at the time of PDP verification.
PDP service providers listed in resources can assist you in developing an electronic PDP. However, creating an electronic PDP is not required by DPI at this time; only PDP verification is required to be electronic. We encourage you to review their services and, if you are interested, choose the one that best suits your needs. Whether you are just starting the PDP process or you are ready to submit your plan for verification, these organizations can support you.

We're now at a place where we realize we can't just say, "I taught it and the students didn't learn it," as though that constitutes teaching. It's like saying, "The operation was a success, but the patient died." We are aware now that looking at what works for different students -- and there will be different things that work for different students -- is part of learning to teach, and critiquing one's practice and reflecting on what's working and what's not working.
Teachers learn by doing, reading, and reflecting (just as students do); by collaborating with other teachers; by looking closely at students and their work; and by sharing what they see. This kind of learning enables teachers to make the leap from theory to accomplished practice. In addition to a powerful base of theoretical knowledge, such learning requires settings that support teacher inquiry and collaboration and strategies grounded in teachers' questions and concerns. To understand deeply, teachers must learn about, see, and experience successful learning-centered and learner-centered teaching practices.
