LDT Competencies, Badges, and Requirements Overview

Portfolio Overview

The LDT competencies have four categories (Supra-Badges):

  1. PROFESSIONAL FOUNDATIONS IN LDT (Supra-Badge)

  2. PLANNING AND ANALYSIS (Supra-Badge)

  3. DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT (Supra-Badge)

  4. EVALUATION AND IMPLEMENTATION (Supra-Badge)

Each Supra-Badge has several sub-badges. Each sub-badge is composed of a variety of challenges. Below is a graphic that provides a brief overview of the structure of a Supra-Badge.

The left-hand column describes the sub-badge. The middle column describes the challenges that make up the sub-badges. For example, complete the sub-badge “ID Professional Communicator,” evidence (two items: artifact/s and self-reflection) must be provided for each challenge. Details of challenge requirements are further noted in the “Challenge Description and Evidence Examples” column in the table below.
