Terms
LPDC
Local Professional Development Committee. Most states require continuing education for their teachers. Many states use an LPDC to review the quality of such continuing education and to award credit towards license renewal.
CEU
Continuing Education Unit. Most states define a “unit” of continuing education credit. This unit can vary by state laws. Units are frequently linked to “time”. For example: In Ohio 1 unit = 10 hours of professional development.
IPDP
Individual Professional Development Plan. The intent of IPDPs is to have educators thinking intentionally about they will grow professionally. It is an action plan.
