Responsibilities

LPDCs are responsible for reviewing and approving Individual Professional Development Plans (IPDPs), coursework, and other professional development activities that educators complete to renew their licenses. 

It is the educator's responsibility to create an IPDP, follow LPDC guidelines, submit coursework and professional development for approval, and keep track of license expiration.

Our Philosophy

In recognizing the role of educators in our organization, we are committed to supporting their professional journey, including the crucial aspect of license renewal according to the requirements and criteria provided through the Ohio State Board of Education. High-quality professional development is a cornerstone of our philosophy. We actively support high-quality training and educational opportunities that support growth and development for all educators. We also seek to foster a culture that is both customer-service oriented and employee-focused in nature. We believe that by prioritizing the development of our employees within that supportive culture, we inherently enhance the service we provide to our districts and partners.
