The Professional Standards Program (PSP) is a voluntary program established by the National Association of Educational Office Professionals (NAEOP) to encourage educational office professionals to grow professionally.

The program is designed as a series of eight levels. The awarding of a certificate based on education, experience, and professional activity recognizes achievement in the program.

Classes offered at KAEOP conferences twice a year are approved by NAEOP and can be used toward PSP certification. KAEOP members may apply to NAEOP for admission to the Professional Standards Program after NAEOP membership has been established.

The 07-08 Fall Conference workshop will focus on growth in the area of wellness. The presenter will be Judi McKinney, a school nurse from Kinsley-Offerle USD 347. The morning session will be spent refreshing or learning first aid skills and the afternoon will be focused on CPR.

Questions concerning KAEOP curriculum may be directed to Judy Shepard, Curriculum Chairman at jshepard@usd347.net.
