The information on this page applies ONLY to educators licensed with a Level II endorsement and who are currently NOT working in a public school or school served by a local standards board (LSB) or regional standards board (RSB). To renew a level II license, you are required to submit an Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) and document nine (9) professional development credits/endorsement. Three (3) of those credits need to apply directly to the performance and knowledge standards of your endorsement. The remaining six (6) must fall within the Five Standards for Vermont Educators.
NOTE 1: If you are an educator currently working in a Vermont public school district or a school served by an LSB or RSB, you cannot renew your license using the forms on this page. You are required to renew your license/endorsement through your LSB/RSB.

INDIVIDUAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IPDP): LEVEL II ONLY
|
| |
|
| |
An Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) is a new requirement for educators seeking to renew their Level II endorsement(s) through the Vermont Department of Education. The format of the IPDP is designed to guide educators as they reflect on their current circumstances and plan their career goals over the next seven years.
-
You will use the SMART goals format worksheet to develop three (3) specific and measurable goals that are relevant to your current circumstances and will enhance your career and the educational community at large.
-
You will design these goals around your personal and professional experiences, where you see a need or where you hold an ambition. You need to show, throughout the course of your three goals, how you meet the Five Standards for Vermont Educators, but you do not need to design a goal for each standard and you do not need to meet every standard with each goal.
-
You will then use the worksheet to plan the professional development that you will need to meet these goals.

The performance and knowledge standards describe what you are expected to know and execute in the classroom. Using them as a reference will help you integrate the standards of your endorsement into your goals. Use the link above to find the standards for your particular endorsement. NOTE: You must address at least one performance or knowledge standard of your endorsement area within at least one of your three goals. If you hold more than one endorsement, then you must address at least one performance or knowledge standard for each endorsement.
