WAC 181-01-001 WEST-B Extension. Individuals
applying for a Washington State residency teaching certificate who have
completed a teacher preparation program in another state or country have up to
one calendar year from issuance of temporary permit to pass the WEST-B basic
skills test, provided that they have completed all other requirements for
residency certification other than passage of the WEST-B and are thus eligible
for a temporary permit under WAC
181-79A-128.
More information about applying for a Washington teaching certificate under these new rules can be found at http://www.k12.wa.us/certification, or by calling the Certification Office of the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction at 360.725.6400.
