The Department of Teacher Education offers programs for Elementary and Secondary certification as well as endorsements in specific subject areas, Special Education, English as a Second Language (ESL), and Reading. The Washington State Board of Education has approved all of the department's certification and endorsement programs and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) accredits Whitworth's teacher education programs. Whitworth has a longstanding excellent reputation for teacher preparation and consistently has one of the highest placement rates in the state. School administrators prize Whitworth teacher graduates because they know the importance of teaching both the mind and the heart and are committed to compassionate service and high academic standards. Whitworth graduates have received teaching positions in every state in the union and many have taken positions overseas in schools and mission settings. The links on this page reflect the current certification program. Certification requirements are subject to change. Contact the School of Education for the latest information.
