The iPD Portfolio is a learning management system created to support ongoing professional development for staff in Head Start and child care settings. It has accessible, self-paced courses based on staff roles and interests. Check out this step-by-step document to learn how to access the iPD.

Many iPD courses offer continuing education units (CEUs) upon completion. Some state professional development systems, workforce registries, or regulatory agencies, such as licensing or credentialing, require CEUs as a measure of quality of instruction or to provide assurance of attendance. Credential or licensure renewal may also require CEUs for the same reasons. If you want to use CEUs as part of your professional development, it is important to check with your regulatory agency to make sure you are meeting their specific requirements. You can also use CEUs from completing eligible iPD courses to meet Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential™ professional development requirements. Refer to the CDA Subject Areas posted under the learning objectives for calculating contact hours.
