Elementary and Special Education
This two-year, compacted program offers a facilitated sequence of courses combined with significant practical experience, including a year-long internship/residency with highly skilled mentor teachers. The curriculum has been co-designed by experts in the field and master teachers. Graduates from our program are highly sought-after teachers in both general and special education classrooms and are frequently at the top of the candidate pool for teaching jobs.
Upon completion, candidates are eligible for Washington State residency teaching certificates in P-12 Special Education and K-8 Elementary Education OR they can seek to be certified in Special Education only.
