12CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS
The conditional certificate may be issued under specific circumstances for a limited period of service to
an individual who does not meet requirements for regular teacher, school nurse, or school speech-
language pathology or audiology (SSLPA) certification.
Conditional certificates are issued if one of the following conditions is verified:
The applicant is highly qualified and experienced in the subject matter to be taught and has
unusual distinction or exceptional talent demonstrated through public records of
accomplishments and/or awards, or
No person with regular teacher certification in the endorsement area is available as verified by
the district or educational service district superintendent or private school administrator, or
circumstances warrant consideration of issuance of a conditional certificate.
In addition, conditional certificates are issued to persons in the following categories only if no person
with regular certification is available:
The applicant is assigned instructional responsibility for intramural/interscholastic activities
which are part of the district or private school approved program.
The applicant possesses a state of Washington license as a registered nurse and does not have
a bachelor’s degree in nursing. (Requires orientation, plan of assistance, legal liability, etc. as
described in WAC 181-79A-231(1).)
The applicant has completed a baccalaureate degree. (First conditional SSLPA only.)
The applicant is enrolled and making satisfactory progress in a master’s degree program for
speech-language pathology or audiology. (Second conditional SSLPA.) Only two conditional
SSLPA certificates may be issued.
For special education assignments, the following requirements must be met:
The applicant for a conditional teacher certificate in special education shall hold a bachelor’s
degree or higher from a regionally-accredited college/university.
The issuance of a conditional certificate to a special education teacher is contingent upon the
individual being enrolled in an approved teacher preparation program resulting in a residency
teacher certificate endorsed in special education. The conditional certificate is valid for up to
two years and may be reissued once for one year upon verification by the college/university that
the individual is completing satisfactory progress in the residency teacher certificate program.
An individual with full certification and endorsed in special education shall be assigned as a
mentor to the special education teacher serving on a conditional certificate for the duration of
the conditional certificate.
The ESD or local district superintendent or private school administrator will verify that the following
criteria have been met when requesting the conditional certificate:
The district or ESD superintendent or private school administrator will indicate the basis on
which he/she has determined that the individual is competent for the assignment.
The individual is being certificated for a specific assignment and responsibility in a specified
activity/field.
Renewal of the conditional certificate requires verification from the employing school district, approved
private school, or ESD that the applicant has completed 60 clock hours since the issuance of the most
recent certificate. A second conditional SSLPA certificate also requires verification of enrollment and
satisfactory progress in a master’s degree program for speech language pathology or audiology.
