What is VPSS? VPSS is a state-approved advanced certification process by which secondary
teachers in "special settings" have an additional option to become
compliant with No Child Left Behind legislation. Completion of VPSS will
allow eligible teachers to become "Highly Qualified" without taking
high-stress tests or spending long hours on college coursework. It
incorporates specific subject matter knowledge with practical application
targeted to hard-to-staff settings.
