This program meets Washington State requirements for a supporting endorsement in teaching ESL. There is a great need for trained instructors in our school systems, and many teachers find that a supporting endorsement in ESL expands their job opportunities. Teachers and future teachers can apply to add this endorsement if they have completed a primary endorsement in another field of study. If you would like more information on becoming a certified teacher go to the Woodring Teacher Certification page.

If you have already taken classes towards meeting the Washington State ESL endorsement, you may be able to complete the requirements by taking individual courses through Western's TESOL Program. The TESOL Director is available to assist you in reviewing your endorsement coursework and after successful completion of the endorsement requirements can provide verification to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
