Additional Location
Western Washington University offers programming in Burien in partnership with the local school district.
Burien
Western's Woodring College of Education began an innovative educational outreach program in partnership with Highline School District in 2016; this school district-based program was referred to as an Alternative Route to Teaching. The degree completion program, with a focus on inclusive education and multilingual education, allows paraprofessionals and teachers to collaborate, work and study within their local school district.

Renton
Woodring College of Education, the Puget Sound Educational Service District (ESD), our partner school districts, and Washington state all have a commitment to increasing the number of bi/multilingual teachers from the communities in which they live, helping to build strong multi- language programs, and increasing the diversity of our teaching force to reflect our student populations. Thus Western, in partnership with the Puget Sound ESD, is expanding our educational outreach programming to Renton to better serve the greater South King County region beginning in 2022.*
The first program offered in partnership with the Puget Sound ESD is a cohort-based program referred to as Woodring Multilingual Teaching Fellows. This innovative program supports employed paraeducators who seek to become K-8 certified teachers (available to current employees and new applicants). Preference is given to multilingual candidates employed and referred by our partner districts. The degree completion program results in a BAE, English Language Learners and Bilingual Education along with recommendation for a Residency Teaching Certificate with endorsements in Elementary Education, and English Language Learners and/or Bilingual.
