I am a certified elementary teacher, and I would like to add the ZS (Early Childhood-General and Special Education) endorsement to my certificate. How can I do that?

September 16, 2016

Elementary teachers who wish to add the ZS endorsement to their teaching certificates must complete a planned program developed in consultation with an advisor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies (see Early Childhood-General and Special Education Endorsement [ZS]).  The teacher must first complete an application for the Early Childhood-General and Special Education Endorsement program.  After completing required coursework and passing the Early Childhood-General and Special Education MTTC, the teacher can apply to have the ZS endorsement added to his or her teaching certificate (see Applying for Certification). Please see Additional Endorsements at MSU and Adding an Endorsement to an Existing Teaching Certificate for more information.
