The Professional Development Certification Program is designed to develop quality teachers for the students of Brevard.  PDCP, is a competency-based, job-embedded educator preparation program preparing teachers to meet the Florida Educator Accomplished Practices. PDCP offers face-to-face, hybrid, and distance learning opportunities for the professional educator.  PDCP is an alternative path for those coming into the profession on a temporary teaching certificate.  Program participants complete a job-embedded portfolio, take inservice courses designed to support their instructional practices, and work toward passing their professional certification exam.  We serve all PreK-12 classroom teachers.  Candidates can apply for PDCP during open enrollment periods, once they have met the initial eligibility requirements. 

Enrollment for PDCP is currently open and will close on January 20, 2023.
