Credentialing Advisory Councils

Credentialing Advisory Council

The Credentialing Advisory Councils were formed as a way to involve ESD community members in credentialing program development. In the first round, we sought input for program development, from requirements to the application to the exam. In the next round, we asked community members to test the exam and make suggestions for improvements.

Credentialing Pool & Review Panel

The Credentialing Pool & Review Panel serves two purposes: 1) Assist the Association with building future credentialing exams by suggesting new exam questions, testing the exam, and grading exam essay questions; and 2) Serving on a Review Panel to mediate and resolve credentialing grievances, disputes, and complaints. All members of the Credentialing Pool & Review Panel will be Association members and will have obtained an ESDP credential from the Association.

Continuing Education Advisory Council

The Continuing Education Advisory Council will be formed in 2023 to involve ESD community members in development of the Continuing Education and Accreditation Programs. We will ask participants to weigh in on things like the number of continuing education credits to be required, the types of courses that will fulfill the requirement, and how accreditation will work. This Advisory Council will meet several times in 2023.
