Professional Standards Program Information

WAEOP members are encouraged to continue learning personally and professionally. Professional Development is essential to cope with the rapidly changing conditions in the field of education. Our parent organization, National Association of Educational Office Professionals (NAEOP) and WAEOP, provide opportunities for members to enhance their professional competencies through academic programs, conferences, institutes and workshops. These activities enable our members to take the necessary steps to achieve their desired level of professionalism. Successful completion of the Professional Standards program offered by NAEOP qualifies a member for one or more of the following Professional Standards Program certificates:
• Basic • Associate Professional • Advanced I • Advanced II • Advanced III	• Associate Degree • Bachelor Degree • Master Degree • Doctoral Degree
Many WAEOP members have achieved one or more of these certificates. (View current list of PSP recipients in Washington) Each certificate is based on requirements in three areas: education, experience, and professional association participation. What is required of me? In order to apply for a Professional Standards Program certificate, an applicant must be a member of NAEOP. Membership with NAEOP must be continuous, while pursuing a PSP certificate and membership must be maintained each year thereafter in order to be eligible for re-certification (at every fifth year anniversary of their original certification). We encourage employees to also maintain membership in WAEOP and any local association in their area, if one exists. These organizations provide professional growth and networking opportunities for their members. Need some help? Contact one of our PSP Committee Co-Chair, Sue Daley or Vivian Belcher for more information.
