Issues raised
Registrant Renewal New Candidates
Application Requirements Program Restructure
The Survey A tremendous response A great cross-section Registrants Non-Registrants Superintendents
Most of the outcomes expected as a result of registration were achieved by at least half of those expecting them: recognition by employers - 87.8% showing support for PASBO - 80.4% recognition by peers - 78.8% gaining pride or personal satisfaction - 78.2% meeting employer expectation or requirements - 70.2% increasing credibility in educational community - 65.1% increasing marketability - 56.9%
Only 20% of registrants indicated that registration was included in their job descriptions, either as a preference (15.1%) or requirement (5.4%).
PRSBSs realized significantly fewer outcomes than expected compared to PRSBAs and PRSBOs in four categories: gaining pride and personal satisfaction increasing marketability meeting employer expectations or
requirements obtaining increased compensation or
benefits
73.3% indicated that their employers pay the full registration fee
97.3% expressed satisfaction with the
current registration program 92.4% of PRSBAs, 93.7% of PRSBOs, and
100% of PRSBSs indicated plans to renew registration
58.2% of members not currently registered indicated they did not have plans to obtain registration in the next three years
53.9% of the members who indicated they did
not have plans to obtain registration stated it was because their employer does not require registrationand
44.6% stated it was because they did not perceive a value of registration
Of the 78.4% of survey respondents who indicated their employers pay the registration fee, over half still indicated having no interest in applying for the registration.
Just over 8% of members not currently
registered indicated that the registration was included in their job description and
Just 11% of chief school administrators indicated that they included registration in their job descriptions
87.0% of members not currently registered and 81.4% of chief school administrators indicated they were aware of professional registration prior to receiving the survey
78.4% indicated that their employers
pay for the registration fee
88.4% of chief school administrators stated that they provided some type of encouragement or reward for their staff to become professionally registered
Over half of the chief school administrators stated
they perceived the benefits of PASBO professional registration to their institution to include provision of credibility within the educational
community (71.3%), and making it easier to discern qualifications of potential
employees (50.1%)
Focus on employers as a key target Consider what changes could be
made to the program to make it more valuable to employers
Employers stated that staff professional development would be the key value in any redesign of the registration program

97.3% of registrants are satisfied with the current program
92.4% PRSBAs, 93.7% PRSBOs, and 100% of PRSBSs plan to renew
Yet 68.3% want some type of restructure…
79.6% PRSBSs want restructure 58.7% PRSBOs want restructure 70.4% PRSBAs want restructure…
yet 61% want their own registration to remain the same (only 8.7% of PRSBAs want the PRSBA to be restructured)
66.4% chief school administrators indicated they would find valuable a restructure indicating specialties or job functions
Specialty areas of most interest:Business administration, human resources, facilities, purchasing, transportation, safety, payroll
The program is NOT in eminent danger of losing viability in its current state
A majority of respondents indicated favoring a restructure (although not to the PRSBA program)
Restructure Options
1. Maintain current registrations and add specialty designations
2. Maintain current PRSBA and replace PRSBO and PRSBA with specific job functions
3. Maintain the PRSBA and add specialty designations to PRSBO and PRSBS
Option: Maintain current PRSBA and replace PRSBO and PRSBA with job functions The smaller the population
holding a registration, the more difficult it is to get it recognizedPossible detriment to individuals working in many areas (not specialized)Possible detriment to individuals wanting to move into a new area
Option: Maintain current registrations and add optional specialties to them (to all or to just PRSBO and PRSBS)
Benefits: 81.4% of chief school administrators
are are of current registrations Majority of registrants expressed
satisfaction with current system and plan to renew

The Case for Curriculum-based Certificates
Compared to continuing education:
Focused on outcomes / measurable results
Comprehensive, integrated
Develop Course AssessmentCourse Competencies /
Learning Objectives
Course Content
Course Assessment
Development Steps
1. Determine Goals2. Identify Course Competencies /
Learning Objectives3. Determine Program Design and
Delivery Vehicles4. Create Course Content5. Develop Course Assessments
Job Analysis Steps
Collect as much data as possible about the “job”
Convene experts to draft the functional areas and competencies of the “job”
Validate the draft with a larger sample
Offer optional specialty curriculum-based certificates
Comprehensive training program on a focused topic for which participants
receive a certificate upon completion of the coursework and
successful demonstration of attaining the course learning
objectives
Offer optional add-on or modular registrations
• Time-limited specialty area registration awarded to a registered individual after verifying that he or she has met predetermined and standardized criteria in a specialty area
Advantages Disadvantage
Curriculum-based Certificate
Meets chief staff administrator stated desire for training / professional development of staff as a value-added component of registration Assessment component is competency-based -- making it look closer to certification (but less expensive) Typically has a higher value and meaning to members and employers Can provide registrants with a valuable resume builder – verifying their knowledge/skill in specialty areas
Higher cost to both association and members The resulting initial designation add-ons to the base registration could result in unwieldy “alphabet soup” (PRSBS-CA,P,FS)
Add-on or Modular Registration
Lower cost to both association and members Model similar to existing so candidates would be familiar and comfortable with it
The resulting initial designation add-ons to the base registration could result in unwieldy “alphabet soup” (PRSBS-CA,P,FS)
Professional Certification
Curriculum-based Certificate
Certificate of Completion
Focus Assessing current knowledge and skills – usually broad in scope
Training individuals to achieve knowledge and skills (usually focused in scope) and assessing attainment of them
