Are you ready to become a Special Ed Teacher? Learn more by attending this info session.
CityU invites paraprofessionals to earn a bachelors degree and become dual-endorsed teachers. This special WA state program helps pay for your education. The Professional Educator Standards Board of the State of Washington provides an $8000 per year (forgivable loan) toward tuition for candidates who desire to teach in a shortage area (Special Ed). The Alternative Route to Dual Endorsement is part of City University of Seattle's regionally accredited Teacher Certification program, is designed for candidates with significant experience and interest in teaching in special education.
The goal of the program is to allow highly recommended candidates to accomplish their coursework (year one) and their year long mentored internship (year two) while maintaining employment. The 4 quarters of classes with practitioner faculty begin Fall, 2008, and continue through year one on Tuesday -Thursday evenings and all day on Saturdays. In year two, candidates demonstrate competencies through self-directed performance tasks in the classroom, steadily taking on the responsibilities of a teacher.
