Pupil Personnel Worker Certificate Post-Masters Program
Certificate Programs
Become a student advocate.
As a Pupil Personnel Workers (PPW), you can provide a vital role in connecting schools and their communities. PPWs collaborate with school and community stakeholders to ensure students, and their families, have equitable access to resources that can uplift and support them through difficult times. This allows school counselors and educators to focus on social, emotional and academic success in the school setting.
In smaller school districts, this role is often completed concurrently by the school counselor; requiring that they become PPW certified. Individuals seeking PPW endorsement through MSDE will complete a transcript review process and a plan of study will be created based on the individual course needs of each student.
