UW Bothell offers three Middle Level Endorsements for teachers in Washington State:
- Middle Level Humanities;
- Middle Level Math
- Middle Level Science
Middle Level Endorsements enable an individual to teach in grades 4 - 9 in a specific subject area.
We have two distinct programs for adding these endorsements: a Pathway 2 program for qualified, currently certified teachers; and an integrated Pathway 3 program for the students currently enrolled in our teacher education programs. Please refer the column below that applies to your situation.
