PI34 & the PDP
“It is up to each individual licensee to develop a
PDP. The planning process for writing a PDP
ensures that WI educators are broadly
informed, deeply committed, and perform
actions that will keep WI schools and districts
places that motivate and engage all students
and will result in enhanced student learning.
The PDP is the property of the applicant.”
