In Washington, you’ll earn your certification based on the subject area and grade levels you want to teach. The specific subject matter or content area listed on your certificate is known as an endorsement, and all certificates must have at least one endorsement. Some programs may choose to not offer certain endorsements. Make sure you check with programs to determine if they offer what you’re looking for. Learn more about endorsements and certification.
