A MOPD ID is your Missouri Professional Development Identification, formerly known as PARS (Professional Achievement and Recognition System) In the future, this number will be necessary to register for clock hour trainings. Get your MOPD ID here!
This data system streamlines data collection for Missouri's quality initiatives (e.g., Quality Rating System (QRS), Accreditation Facilitation) and child care licensing.
The goal is for all training records to be available electronically from one source. This will prevent the need for staff to submit training and education information each time they or their program participates in a quality initiative. It will also prevent fraud associated with paper clock hour certificates, and it will save licensing representatives time needed to look through certificates on site every time they visit.
Being a PARS participant has a number of additional benefits including:
Receipt of a Missouri’s Education Matrix - chart indicating your level of training and/or education.
The ability to track and update your education and training through OPEN’s secure, on-line system
