We recommend that you contact your Local Professional Development Committee (LPDC) to request pre-approval for the course when planning to use the course hours toward your individual professional development plan (IPDP). When you request pre-approval, check to see if your district LPDC has specific forms they require you to use (e.g. pre-approval forms, time logs, reflection forms). A generic LPDC Form is provided here if your LPDC does not have specific forms. 

We have provided an estimated time to complete the course and activities. However, since each person works at their own pace, we suggest that you keep track of the time you spend working on the course.
