Add-On Endorsements
Appropriately named, “add-on endorsements” are endorsements that are added to your already valid Washington State teacher certificate.
In Washington state, there are four possible ways to add an endorsement to your currently valid Initial, Residency, Continuing, or Professional Teacher Certificate.
- By completing an add-on endorsement program at a college or university **and** completing required content exam.
- Test ONLY (content exam) – formerly Pathway
- By earning National Board Certification in a Washington endorsement area.
- Migration, where certain endorsements may be added by means of migration to align previously-issued endorsements with current standards.
