Teach for a Brighter Future for Our Youth

Children’s futures depend on effective teachers in the community. If you’re a caring, committed teacher who is ready to begin teaching in a K-8 setting, this certificate would help you achieve your goals.

Adding an elementary education endorsement to your teaching certificate opens up a whole new world of career opportunities. Program graduates often pursue a change of pace by shifting into elementary teaching positions that are both challenging and rewarding.

You can apply to CityU’s elementary education endorsement program if you are an actively certified teacher or administrator in Washington state. You may also complete the program as part of your initial certification in our Bachelor of Arts in Education.

This elementary education endorsement is offered in a mixed-mode setting with convenient class meeting times and online learning elements – to accommodate your busy schedule.

The state-approved Endorsement in Elementary Education provides Washington state-certified teachers with an opportunity to begin teaching students in K-8. You will work closely with faculty, who are also actively working, so you learn actionable skills for the classroom. Timely, real-world examples will further support and elevate your learning experience.
