I want to be a high school teacher. What are the steps I have to take to teach in Washington?
The UW does not offer an undergraduate teacher certification program. The teacher certification program at the UW is a graduate program, and requires an undergraduate degree as a prerequisite for entrance to the program. The Teacher Education Program (Master in Teaching) at the UW offers programs for those interested in teaching at the elementary or secondary level. Students completing the elementary program earn a Washington Residency Certificate granted by the State of Washington endorsed for elementary education. Secondary program students are endorsed for specific subjects. Graduates of both programs are eligible to teach in middle schools. Secondary teaching in chemistry requires that students complete the courses determined by the UW Department of Chemistry to meet the State of Washington requirements. Schedule an appointment with an adviser in the UW Chemistry Department for an updated listing of required courses.
