Second endorsement
Washington state requires that teacher candidates pursing an endorsement in Special Education also earn a second endorsement in a content area.
Special Education majors will work with the certification advisor to develop a plan of study for earning a second endorsement.
Please make an appointment with the certification advisor as soon as possible to begin working on this plan. 通过电子邮件预约 soeinfo@422121.com 或者在前SOE办公室 Peterson Hall 300.
