CHPE Professional Learning

Educators play a critical role in the success of students. As such, all educators are called on to continually improve their practice. Professional learning is the single most accessible method by which educators can grow and learn as professionals. Below are resources to support professional learning for Comprehensive Health and Physical Education (CHPE) in Massachusetts schools and districts.

• DESE Professional Learning Guidance — a resource to both educators and other professional learning leaders aiming to support high quality professional learning.
• Registry of DESE-approved Professional Development (PD) providers — a list of professional learning providers that submitted a PD Provider Registry Application to DESE and met the minimum requirements established for the registry.
