Conceptual Framework
Collaboration within our educational communities strengthens our resolve and enhances our success in preparing teachers who will advance the intellectual lives of their students while helping them to live responsibly in our racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse society.
The Teacher Certification Program is continually revitalized through the collaborative efforts of the Program faculty and staff and the teachers, principals, and other school administrators who serve on the Professional Education Advisory Board. This commitment is summarized in our program's mission statement and elaborated in our conceptual framework

Intern Substitute Certification
Background: OSPI created the Intern Substitute Certificate to create an opportunity for districts to use student interns in the event their master/cooperating teacher is out during their student teaching quarter (this makes you eligible to sub ONLY for your Master Teacher and ONLY during your student teaching quarter, or). Note that districts are not required to offer or support this but a majority do. UW Bothell Education Program will not accept or process the Intern Substitute Certificate paperwork before March 16, 2012 for the K-8 program, December 16 for Secondary.
Note: Do not print out and send any other forms or go to OSPI’s website for forms.
1. First check with your assigned district human resources director to see if the Intern Subtitute Certificate is approved by your district. Get approval from both your cooperating teacher and building principal- there is no form for this but critical and required.
2. Complete and scan the Application for Washington State Intern Substitute Certificate (4028) forms from the link below (forms 4028A, 4028B and 4028E) and send all three PDF attachments by email to Jon Howeiler, in the Education Program office (NOT OSPI).

- 4028A- Complete and sign- do not submit transcripts

3. Print, complete, scan and email with payment the Intern Substitute Certificate Fee Payment Form to the address listed on the form. The ESD will return the form to the Education Program showing receipt of payment.
