The Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) and the Washington State Legislature have changed teacher certification requirements. September 1, 2011, marked the beginning of the external assessment process for ALL teachers holding a Residency Teaching Certificate. Teachers will have the option of completing ProTeach Portfolio requirements individually or through a state approved support program. Professional certificate candidates will be responsible for submitting their ProTeach Portfolios and the evaluation fee, following guidelines set by the PESB. Heritage University offers a support program for all teachers who would like individualized guidance to understand and complete the ProTeach Portfolio assessment process. Teachers interested in attending our support program must complete admission to the university.
