The K-8 Education Endorsement is designed for teachers who possess a current Alaska teaching certificate and wish to earn an endorsement for elementary and middle school (K-8) teaching. All of the courses are offered by e-Learning throughout Alaska. The teacher's transcripts and experience will be evaluated and an appropriate program of studies will be prepared. The Endorsement will include courses or course equivalency for the content and methodology of K-8 instruction.
Advisors maintain the responsibility to make substitutions and to waive classes as necessary and reasonable with the Dean's signature as approval.
