The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) continues to expand access to its high-quality literacy professional learning (PL) opportunities, offering invaluable resources to educators across the state. These initiatives are designed to enhance instructional skills, promote professional growth, and improve literacy outcomes for Maryland students.

Key highlights of the MSDE Literacy PL initiative include cost-free professional development that provides educators with access to high-quality coursework at no financial cost, continuing professional development credits to meet Maryland’s licensure renewal requirements, and a significant focus on improved literacy outcomes. By engaging over 22,000 elementary teachers, 4,000 secondary teachers and administrators, and 1,500 paraprofessionals, this program aims to elevate literacy instruction across early childhood, elementary, special education, and ESOL classrooms.

For the latest updates, educators are encouraged to review the attached flyers detailing these transformative learning opportunities. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this initiative to advance literacy and support Maryland students!
