"I have no question that students who learn, not professors who perform, is what teaching is all about: students who learn are the finest fruit of teachers who teach." - Parker Palmer

The 21-credit, graduate-level certificate is offered on the Bellingham campus of Western Washington University. Courses are face-to-face or hybrid, with class meetings on weekday evenings.
