INNOVATIVE TEACHER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

The Innovative Teacher Certification (ITC) Program is designed to make it possible for practicing teachers without certification to complete the requirements for Missouri certification and to receive an M.A. in Education from Washington University. Classes are offered in the evening, making it possible for practicing teachers to attend courses while continuing to teach full time. To see which areas of certification we offer, visit the Certification Options page.

The ITC Program is offered as an M.A. Ed. program through University College. Students entering the program must hold at least a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university. The shortest possible time to complete the courses for the M.A.Ed. is two years, if the student takes three semesters each year (Fall, Spring, and Summer). Student teaching takes place in each ITC student's own classroom, with university supervisors to mentor each student and document growth over at least two semesters.
