Program Description
The LDCP provides quality professional development and leadership training for TESOL members interested in developing their knowledge and skills as current or future leaders within TESOL International Association. This program is open to TESOL members only.
Note: If you want to participate in the Leadership Development Certificate Program (LDCP), you must now complete the program in one year. TESOL no longer offers the option of completing it over two years.
If you did not complete the LDCP requirements at the 2012 TESOL convention and you want to earn the certificate, you must complete all requirements for the LDCP at the 2013 TESOL convention in Dallas, Texas.
If you are just beginning the LDCP, you are encouraged to take the two online workshops,
About TESOL and
Perspectives on Leadership, that are available in September and October 2012. If you intend to earn the LDCP certificate, however, you must complete all the program requirements at the 2013 convention in Dallas, Texas.
