The Florida legislature recognizes the importance of planning for developing human potential and requires each district to develop a comprehensive Professional Learning Catalog, which was formerly known as the Master In-service Plan. Each district is required to annually update, revise, and submit a Professional Learning Catalog to provide a detailed description of each professional learning component, to include the name of the component, general description, primary purpose, evaluation methods for staff and students, implementation method, learning methods and participation hours.  Each unique type of professional learning experience requires a corresponding component.  The updates to the Professional Learning Catalog are developed in collaboration with stakeholders, and based on data in response to student and educator needs in alignment with the CCDS Professional Learning System.

During this annual review, the Professional Learning Catalog, the content of each component was reviewed by the appropriate department and updates were made to reflect current terminology and the most up-to-date professional learning requirements and expectations. Professional Learning Standards were updated on most components to reflect the most current PL standards.  Additionally, components were added to reflect the additional professional learning opportunities and online learning formats now available, and components that are no longer needed were removed.

The CCDS Professional Learning Catalog was last revised and approved in April  2022.

The CCDS 2023-2024 Professional Learning Catalog will include the most up-to-date information and include the professional learning components available for the 2023-2024 school year.
