M-DCPS Alternative Professional Preparation Program

Miami-Dade County Public Schools is committed to providing high quality educational services to all learners. This philosophy is based on a commitment to student learning and achievement, as well as providing personnel with high quality professional development opportunities intended to support and enhance learning, achievement, and opportunity. The primary goal of the Alternative Professional Preparation Program (AP3) is to support non-education majors who share this commitment to student learning, achievement, and opportunity.

The AP3 provides an opportunity for middle and senior high school teachers to possess Temporary Certificates and have a degree in a subject area in which the Florida Department of Education offers certification, the opportunity to meet professional preparation coursework requirements within a competency-based program of supported continuous improvement.
