All educator preparation programs leading to Washington certification must be approved by the Professional Educator Standards Board according to WAC Chapter 181.78A. Following full approval, reapproval is subject to PESB decision after reviewing the reports and recommendations submitted by the program review team's site visit. The Board determines which of the Program Approval Options will be conferred to the program. Program approval is based on the Program Approval Standards as measured by the standards rubrics. Programs work with a PESB Liaison to establish the specifics of each review. For more information, visit the approved programs and / or program review schedule. | NOTE: Certification Officers should also be prepared for a review of certification files independent of the program review. |
