About CouchCertified
CouchCertified is a DESE-approved provider of affordable, self-paced professional development for Massachusetts teachers.
Who we are
CouchCertified is a DESE-approved provider of affordable, self-paced professional development courses for teachers. We started CouchCertified because PD shouldn’t cost a week’s salary and require sitting in a hotel ballroom on a Saturday.
What we believe
- PD should respect your time. Self-paced courses, no fixed schedule, no commute.
- PD should respect your wallet. A full 15-PDP module is $69, not $400.
- PD should be rigorous. Every Knowledge Check, reflection, and Final Exam meets the DESE Provider Application v3.13 standard.
Where we’re going
Year 1 (2026–2027): Massachusetts SEI endorsement courses for ELL teachers.
Year 2 (2027–2028): A PDP wallet at my.couchcertified.com for tracking your 150-PDP renewal cycle, including certificates from other providers.
Year 3 (2028–2029): District-wide enrollment for school districts that want to support teachers with paid PD.
