Effective July 1, 2020New District Provided Professional Development (DPPD) Reporting Process

Per the Michigan Department of Education's New DPPD Reporting Process Resources webpage:

Effective July 1, 2020, when districts choose to allow DPPD to be used for recertification, they must enter it into the Michigan Online Educator Certification System (MOECS) as State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECHs). This process replaces individual educator entry and the requirement for districts to review and sign each educator’s individual DPPD form.

Per the Michigan Department of Education's DPPD Reporting Process for Educators webpage:

Effective July 1, 2020, districts are required to enter all DPPD to be used for educator recertification as State Continuing Education Credit Hours (SCECHs) into the Michigan Online Educator Certification System (MOECS).
