Added Endorsements

These endorsements are for those with a current valid Washington State Teacher's Certificate (initial or residency), not for those in pre-service teacher education programs nor for any teacher with a standard (lifetime) teacher's certificate (an endorsement invalidates standard certificates).

For a complete list of all downloadable added endorsement 'portfolio forms'. A portfolio is required for all endorsements, but the use of the "portfolio form" is optional since there is more than one way to provide evidence of meeting knowledge and skill competencies. If the "portfolio form" is used to submit evidence of meeting competencies, the form is to be filled out by a qualified professional who is asked to assess the degree to which an applicant for an added endorsement has met all state required endorsement competencies.
