Local Professional Development Committee (LPDC. The Professional or Associate License Renewal Law (O.R.C. 3319.22; OAC 3301-24- 08), governs the credential renewal process for all Ohio teachers. The intent of the law is to professionalize the renewal process itself and to require much closer connection between renewal activities and classroom practice. Therefore, the law establishes a local licensure board and expands the definition of acceptable credits toward license/certificate renewal, making it possible to receive credit for professional development activities that are designed and conducted within the working, collegial environment of the school district. The purpose of the Grandview Heights Schools (GHS) Local Professional Development Committee (LPDC) is to: - Approve Individual Professional Development Plans. - Grant prior approval and final approval for professional development activities for recertification/licensing credit. - Evaluate professional development activities for Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) credit. - Evaluate and approve District Approved Professional Development Credits (DAPDCs) toward advancement on the salary schedule. - Recommend teachers for advancement on the salary schedule. - Make recommendations for in-service programs. - Recommend teachers for certificate/license renewal to the Ohio Department of Education. A DAPDC is a unit of measure of professional growth, which is accepted as equivalent to one semester hour of accredited college or university work. All teachers must get pre-approval of the DAPDCs from the LPDC. The Grandview Heights Schools Local Professional Development Committee, operating under the requirements of O.R.C. 3319.22 and policies established by the GHS Board of Education, must review all certificate/license renewal applications for all certificated employees. This includes reviewing semester hours, CEU’s and “other approved activities” that are submitted for credit toward license renewal. The LPDC bases recommendations for license/certificate renewal on a teacher’s Individual Professional Development Plan’s compliance with the guidelines of the law and the GHS Standards for professional development.
