As an elementary education candidate, you will work with young children at multiple grade levels and be inspired by their curiosity, questions, intelligence, and unique ways of being.

The M.A.T. program purposefully integrates intentional school-based placements in local public schools with coursework focused on learning to plan, teach, assess, and actively develop cultural competence.

Upon completion of this one-year program you will earn a Master of Arts in Teaching degree and a Washington State residency certificate in K–8 elementary education, certifying you to teach kindergarten through grade 8. Explore the elementary endorsement by clicking below.
