Description

The EES graduate certificate program is intended for students at the College of Education and other academic units at the University of Washington to receive additional training that prepares certificate recipients for civic engagement or employment in positions seeking, in part or in whole, to advance equity in education and society at large. Taken together, the proposed requirements of the EES certificate provide students with the academic training to understand that educational equity can be theorized, researched, and applied differently across multiple educational disciplines and contexts. It is by committing to ongoing learning and bringing these different strands of equity work together, that our students will be best equipped to advance educational justice upon completion of our certificate program.
