Professional Standards Program (PSP)

BAEOP members are encouraged to continue to grow professionally and personally, by attending workshops, conferences and/or other continuing education classes.  If you do not have a Professional Standards Program Certificate, now is a good time to find out how you can qualify for a PSP Certificate and start earning extra money in your paycheck. View list of current PSP Recipients in the Bellevue School District.

BAEOP members achieve recognition through the PSP program, which is a professional development certification program designed for classified employees working within an educational environment as office personnel or support staff.  In the Bellevue School District, BAEOP members are able to attain one or more levels of certification and receive compensation for their achievements.

How can we help?

We are willing to help anyone interested in obtaining their PSP certificate. We can meet with you individually or as a group. Contact our PSP Committee Chair, Liz VandenBerghe for more information.


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 BAEOP and WAEOP, since these organizations provide them with professional growth and networking opportunities, with other employees who work in an educational setting. Sixty hours of training are required for a member to be eligible to recertify and continue to receive their stipend.
