Reflecting Oklahoma's commitment to high quality early care and education by providing professional development that produces results!
What is PDAS?
Oklahoma Professional Development Approval System (PDAS)
PDAS is the system and team at CECPD that supports trainers and training organizations that deliver professional development for early childhood educators and childcare providers. We are committed to developing the highest quality early care and education here in Oklahoma by providing professional development that produces results! We encourage continued professional development as research shows that formal education of early childhood teachers means more positive outcomes for children.
Formal professional development is:
- two or more clock hours from an Oklahoma Professional Development Registry (OPDR) approved training organization and
- OPDR approved college credit hours.
To find formal training, look for the OPDR Approved logo when you are searching the statewide training calendar at www.okregistry.org.
Informal professional development is:
- less than two clock hours from an OPDR approved training organization,
- any number of clock hours from a non-approved training organization, and
- any training from electronic media, such as videos or DVDs.
Podcasts, reading and television programs do not count toward required clock hours
