The Elementary Education specialization in our IDLS BA program prepares undergraduates to obtain Washington state certification as Elementary School Teachers. By choosing this specialization, students fulfill IDLS major requirements while taking education-focused EDLS courses from the College of Education and completing prerequisite classes. This comprehensive approach meets all competency standards set by Washington's Professional Educator Standards Board for teacher certification. Key features include progressive field experiences that build toward a clinical internship, along with strong foundations in science and mathematics. The program particularly emphasizes hands-on training for working with special education students through its field experience components.
