• are not employed by school districts, 
• wish to use the professional development plan (PDP) process to renew a license in 2006, 2007, or 2008 or
• wish to use the LRSC independently as they pursue license renewal.

Centers will provide services related to PI 34 and educator licensing including:

• Identification and training for initial educator teams in all three categories of teacher, pupil service, and administrator
