ProTeach Admission

It’s easier than you might think.

You may enroll in the WSU ProTeach Support Program before you enroll with the Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) portfolio/external assessment. These are two separate programs, thus, there are two separate enrollments. One is with the state. One is with us.

WSU ProTeach Support Program enrollment application
PESB online ProTeach Portfolio enrollment* application
  • Must hold a current residency certification
  • Taught for two years and accumulated at least 1.5 FTE
  • Your enrollment date determines your submission deadline.  Please review the PESB assessment calendar to ensure you have adequate time to complete your work.

Again, our ProTeach support program and the PESB ProTeach Portfolio are two different programs. Each program has a required application process. Acceptance to one program is not acceptance into both programs.

Applicants who would like to pursue a master’s degree along with their ProTeach must meet regular WSU Graduate School and college admission criteria.

Teachers must verify completion of the child abuse course work requirement when they apply for their Professional Certificate. The child abuse course is defined in WAC 181-79A-030(6) and includes the identification of physical, emotional, sexual, and substance abuse, information on the impact of abuse on the behavior and learning abilities of students, discussion of the responsibilities of a teacher to report abuse or provide assistance to students who are victims of abuse, and methods for teaching students about abuse of all types and their prevention.
