Candidates who successfully complete Secondary Education programs are recommended to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for residency teacher certification in the state of Washington.

These programs reflect the Woodring College conceptual framework of preparing thoughtful, knowledgeable, and effective middle and high school teachers for a diverse society. The curriculum is a carefully sequenced professional program that is firmly backed by current research on effective teaching and embraces three basic strands in education:

• Artistic
• Scientific
• Professional

Secondary Education faculty are student-centered and committed to providing accurate and up-to-date information and advice to current and prospective students. The route to certification may be more complex than for other university programs because candidates must meet requirements

1. Academic (major endorsements) departments;
2. Secondary Education, and
3. Residency Certification
