Passport to Learning
The Problem Solving/Response to Intervention - Technology team provides a micro-credential professional learning system that is provided free for Florida educators, specialists, and related service providers that serve Florida students.
You, the "traveler," can apply for a "passport" (an online account) and then sign up for one or more pre-planned travel packages. Each travel package includes a number of competency-based "destinations." Your "passport" receives a stamp (badge) for each completed travel package and you will receive a certificate of inservice hours earned. You have the option of earning CEUs. Passport applications are accepted in August. For more information, go to https://www.tlc-mtss.com/passport.
