New Program in Elementary Teacher Education

Download applicationThe University of Washington College of Education is pleased to announce the initiation of a new program for preparation of Elementary (K-8) Education teachers for careers in diverse high needs schools.   Developed collaboratively by university faculty and practicing teachers, the new program is designed to prepare teachers to respond effectively to the complex challenges of today’s public school classrooms. Several specific features of the new program are aimed at preparing new teachers to use best evidence-based strategies to provide equitable and effective opportunities for all children to learn.  These features include:

  • A program-wide focus on issues of equity and academic excellence

  • First quarter community-based practicum in diverse, poverty-impacted communties

  • A full year of fieldwork in one of our network of diverse high needs schools in the greater Seattle region, taken concurrently with on-campus courses

  • Field-based “studio days” in which program faculty and partner school colleagues team to provide instruction in partner school classrooms

  • Continuous interweaving of coursework and fieldwork experiences, with particular focus on issues related to culturally responsive teaching, English Language Learners, and children with special educational needs throughout the program

Several features of the new program are also designed to provide more program flexibility to accommodate the diverse needs and interests of TEP students:

  • Residency certification for teaching completed after four consecutive quarters in the program.

  • You will have ongoing support during your first year of teaching that includes quarterly workshops providing opportunities to work on problems of your own teaching practice, and completion of a Capstone Project that will help prepare you to pursue National Board Certification. 

  • Individualized pathways for completing Masters degree requirements (beyond those for the basic teaching residency certificate), including specializations in English Language Learners, special education, math/science, reading and others.
