第二次背书
Washington state requires that teacher candidates pursing an endorsement in 特殊教育 also earn a second endorsement in a content area.
特殊教育 majors will work with the certification advisor to develop a plan of study for earning a second endorsement.
Please make an appointment with the certification advisor as soon as possible to begin working on this plan. Make appointments by emailing soeinfo@apipros.net or at the front 国有企业 office in 彼得森大厅 300.
