Office of Certification

Mission Statement
As we focus on quality and commitment to excellence, the Office of Certification’s mission is to ensure that certificated staff achieve and maintain professional certification to reflect their “highly qualified” status in educating the children of Baltimore County Public Schools.

The Office of Certification is an essential component in supporting the efforts of the professional staff in achieving and maintaining their Maryland certificates. Staff members serve as professional growth advisors and liaisons to the Maryland State Department of Education.

From time to time, Maryland’s certification regulations are revised. Every effort is made to provide current information on this BCPS website.
