The 2008-09 school year will be the last year for transitioning from certificates to licenses.
	All certified staff should have an approved IPDP on file unless they hold a permanent certificate.
	The LPDC suggests that an IPDP be filed as soon as a new license is received to insure that all professional workshops and/or college courses taken can be applied to your next license renewal.
	The IPDP form can be accessed online and sent electronically to the LPDC committee as an attachment OR sent through inter-office mail to Marcia Higgins – Central Office.
	Attendance at our meetings is not required – but all are welcome!
	Any questions?  Email us on Groupwise by typing in LPDC.

Please document your professional growth work.  If you take college work, have your transcripts sent promptly to the Central Office.  If you do equivalent activities, keep your activity vouchers.  Send activity vouchers to the Central Office at the time you are sending in your state renewal form and check.  Do not send in the activity vouchers for equivalent activities early.  You must keep your own records.  Make copies and keep them.
