MIP stands for "Master In-Service Program". The Florida Department of Education requires all teachers with a professional teaching license to earn 120 MIP points for certification renewal (every 5 years). Out of the 120 in-service points, at least 20 MIP points need to be from trainings of teaching students with disabilities (SWD).
