Professional Certification for Teachers

The Professional Certification Program provides the course work and support required by the State of Washington for teachers to earn their advanced level of teacher certification, the Professional Certificate. Beginning in September 2010, we will offer two different options for earning the Professional Certificate:  the Graduate--for those teachers who wish to earn a master's degree while earning the Professional Certificate and the Post-Master's--for those teachers who already have a master's degree.
 

The program provides instruction using a cohort model with small classes. It begins in September with the Preasssessment Seminar in which candidates design a Professional Growth Plan. This plan is implemented throughout the program with instruction, support, and assessment from College of Education faculty and school district based educators.  This program will end this June 2013.
