Developing Current Educators

Professional Growth Plans (PGPs)

A Professional Growth Plan (PGP) describes an educator’s intent for developing and building their professional expertise over the coming year. Professional Growth Plans have many uses for educators, including documentation of annual growth, certification renewal, and preparation program completion.

Educator Retooling Conditional Loan Scholarship

The Educator Retooling Conditional Scholarship Program provides financial support to Washington State certified teachers who seek to expand their knowledge and skills by adding endorsements in subject or geographic shortage areas. Applicants may apply for up to $3,000 in financial support in exchange for teaching for two years in their new endorsement area.

Endorsements

Endorsements may be added to Washington state certificates in the following ways. For lists of which endorsements may be added through which pathway, and other details, please see the OSPI Adding Endorsements page.

  • Test only
  • Test + Program
  • National Board Certification
  • Migration from previous to current endorsements
