If you have a 5-year License and work at Newton School, you have a Local Professional Development Committee (LPDC) which oversees your professional development which is required for the eventual renewal of your license. This web page has several links to Google Docs and other websites to help you in your license renewal. You will need to be logged into your Newton Google account to access the Google Docs.
