LPDC Pre-Approved Professional Development Providers

These providers are recognized by the LPDC as organizations that support continuing professional development of educators, consider the delivery of quality professional development as part of their missions, and continually seek to be responsive to the needs of educators, their districts, buildings and students.

All educators must seek the approval of their LPDC before engaging in professional growth activities that they may wish to use for certificate/license renewal. If a provider is not on this list, you should contact an LPDC member and discuss that provider's accredidation. IF A PROVIDER IS NOT ON THE LIST SUBMIT THE ACTIVITY FOR PRE APPROVAL.
