Bilingual Teacher Pathway (BTP) Program
The Graduate School of Education offers a preparation program for bilingual/bicultural employees in partner school districts seeking initial teacher licensure at the elementary level.
The BTP core consists of 35 credits and 13 credits of field experience. In addition, the ESOL endorsement of 22 credit hours is integrated into the program plan of study. Required prerequisite classes should be completed prior to admission into the BTP program. Students may apply at the undergraduate (135 credits/senior status) or graduate level. BTP is a part-time program offering evening and weekend classes. For more information and school district partners, please see the BTP site at www.pdx.edu/ci/btp.
Please Note: The BTP Program is undergoing revisions during the 2018-2019 Academic Year (thus the multiple 410/510 course numbers).
