Additional Programs

The ProTeach Program exists to support teachers in the areas of effective practice, professional development and leadership while they are pursuing their Washington State Professional Certificate. The program is grounded in the mission of both the University and the School of Education, and built on the values of service leadership, academic excellence, social justice, and reflective and collegial practice.  Depending on the program core, teachers usually take from one to two years to complete the program, which may be taken as a stand-alone or in conjunction with existing University Masters' programs in education.

In addition, Gonzaga University offers support for practicing teachers seeking National Certification through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
