Secondary & Middle Level Teacher Certification Post-Baccalaureate
The Secondary & Middle Level Teacher Certification Program prepares students to become certified high school or middle school teachers in the state of Washington. Upon completion of this highly-structured, full-time, four-quarter program, students will meet all of the requirements to be recommended for Washington State Residency teacher certification.
UW Bothell's "cohort model" post-baccalaureate program progresses students together through a series of teaching foundations and adolescent development coursework, along with hands-on teaching methods courses and a structured student-teaching internship. You will be challenged to apply and extend what you learn in class to your work with youth in several school settings.
