Today, the School of Educational Studies is home to a full-fledged dual-endorsement program, preparing students to meet the needs of a diverse range of learners.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot&nbsp;many places in the country do what we do,\u201d said Naranjo, who built the program from the ground up. As its founding faculty member, he did everything from&nbsp;drafting&nbsp;the state license to building&nbsp;the curriculum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naranjo tells his students,\u00a0\u201cYou\u00a0hold something\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0so important \u2014 deep care for children and families, and also\u00a0for people with disabilities. And you can do something about that. I can help you deliver on that promise.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most school districts around the country face a pronounced shortage of special education teachers, and the UW Bothell dual endorsement is in high demand. \u201cOur students are in a unique position in the job market,\u201d Naranjo said.\u00a0\u201cThey can choose where they want to go and teach.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Student-inspired partnership<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Naranjo\u2019s courses\u00a0aren\u2019t\u00a0solely for would-be educators. A wide cross-section of UW students from\u00a0both the\u00a0Bothell and Seattle campuses enroll in his \u201cDisability &amp; Society\u201d classes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost\u00a0people\u2019s concepts about disability are deficit-based,\u201d said Naranjo. \u201cThey\u2019re blown away by what they learn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So blown away, in fact, that students began asking for opportunities\u00a0to get directly involved with the disabled community. Naranjo immediately thought of Outdoors for All, the West Coast\u2019s largest provider of outdoor recreation programs for people with disabilities. An avid skier, he had already been volunteering with the nonprofit organization for four years when he approached its leadership about partnering\u00a0with UW Bothell.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thought, wow, there\u2019s such deep mission alignment between what we do at UW Bothell and what\u2019s going on&nbsp;at&nbsp;OfA,\u201d said Naranjo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On campus, he was also advocating for community-engaged scholarship through faculty governance. Working with colleagues, Naranjo helped to secure\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/2020\/01\/30\/carnegie-community-engagement\">UW Bothell\u2019s first designation as a\u00a0community-engaged campus from the Carnegie Foundation in 2020<\/a>.\u00a0The campus, along with the University of Washington in Seattle and UW Tacoma, earlier this year again received the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/2026\/01\/12\/uw-bothell-honored-for-outstanding-community-engagement\">Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

to\u00a0blossom through Naranjo\u2019s course,\u00a0\u201cDisability &amp; Society: A Focus on Community and the Outdoors.\u201d In summer and winter quarters, students volunteer with Outdoors for All in a wide range of roles: drivers, equipment managers, ski and snowboard coaches, adaptive cycling coaches, paddleboard coaches and\u00a0more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe\u00a0class gets students out\u00a0in\u00a0the world and helps make access real,\u201d said Naranjo.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0a direct opportunity to learn with and from people with disabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s&nbsp;pure joy,\u201d he added,&nbsp;\u201cso much fun to teach!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When not outdoors, students are immersed in contemporary text and media that center the disability experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr.\u00a0Keith Nitta, associate professor\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/ias\/\">School of Interdisciplinary Arts &amp; Sciences<\/a>, called out Naranjo\u2019s work with Outdoors for All as an exemplar of community-engaged teaching and service. \u201cIt is\u00a0a model of reciprocity, with clear benefits for Outdoors for All and\u00a0for\u00a0the UW,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cI am so impressed with the class that I used it as a model in a public lecture in Japan last year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the class ends, many students continue to volunteer with Outdoors for All, expanding its mission and putting outdoor recreation in reach for\u00a0even\u00a0more people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
