PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

The Literacy Program within the College of Education and Professional Studies at Central Washington University is proud to offer a reading endorsement option for certified teachers.

Because assignments in every course are tailored to each certified teacher’s current position, the program is appropriate for those who work with students in all grades.

The Reading Endorsement program is delivered completely online. With continuous enrollment, the certified teacher can earn the Washington State P-12 Reading Endorsement through the State of Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction in three (3) quarters.

Teachers from outside the state of Washington will need to contact their state’s department of education to verify if this program meets the guidelines for endorsement in that state.
