Approved Professional Development Providers

The XCS LPDC has created the following list of "Approved Providers " of professional development, which indicates a recognition by the LPDC that these institutions and organizations support the continuing professional development of educators, consider the delivery of quality professional development as part of their mission, and continually seek to be responsive to the individual needs of educators. This list is not inclusive, and all courses offered through these providers are not automatically approved.  Educators should seek professional development from providers who are committed to their needs and who have the expertise and skills to train and educate. All educators are encouraged to discuss with their LPDC any providers who do not appear on this list prior to engaging in professional growth activities which they may wish to use for certificate/license renewal. This list will be updated on a regular basis.
