ProTeach support program for teachers
Teachers who hold valid Washington Residency Teacher Certificates, have completed two consecutive years of successful teaching and have signed third-year contracts since the issuance of their residency teacher certificate with a Washington public or approved private school should work toward their Professional Teacher Certificate. (Formerly ProCert).
WSUs ProTeach Support Program (formerly ProCert) provides a quality personal and professional growth experience that builds upon a solid base of knowledge and experience, and provides support, guidance, and mentoring immersed in reflection and analysis. ProTeach is offered with or without the option of a Master of Education (Ed.M.) in Curriculum and Instruction,

Applying for course as part of a master's degree:
Teachers may take the ProCert program for university credit, as part of a master’s degree program or merely for advancement on their district salary schedule. Graduate applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible; there are several steps to the admission process.
• First, you must apply to the WSU Graduate School for acceptance to the university. (If you are not seeking a master’s degree, you may apply as an “undecided graduate,” which provides an abbreviated process.)
• Second, you must submit the departmental application form.
• Third, if you are pursuing a master’s degree program, you must apply to the department for acceptance into the master’s degree program.
