CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development
courses. The Maryland State Department of Education
(MSDE) now refers to in-service courses as CPDs.
CPDs are MSDE approved credit-bearing courses.
CPD credits count toward salary advancement and
certification renewals for professional staff.
Support staff and substitutes are encouraged
to register for CPDs and can be considered on
a space available basis. Please check with the
Certification office for additional information.
