Pupil Personnel Service
In New York State, the Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) certification authorizes qualified professionals to provide specialized student support services in public schools. Depending on the specific title (such as School Counselor, School Psychologist, or School Social Worker), PPS certification verifies that an individual has completed the required graduate education, supervised clinical experience, and state certification requirements established by the ÃØÃÜÑо¿Ëù (NYSED). These professionals support students' academic, social-emotional, behavioral, and career development while collaborating with families, educators, and community agencies.
