Anyone know about University of Washington Master in Teaching admissions?

[Professor Beatz]

I'm trying to navigate the UW site, and there's a bunch of contrary information and 404'd links.

Can anyone tell me what's the story with the admission requirement of 60 hours of supervised adolescent teaching just to apply to the program? I can't begin to imagine how I'd get that experience prior to entering the program, short of quitting my job and becoming a TA. Is it standard to go into the M. Ed program instead if you have no teaching experience? And is the M. Ed program less desirable for landing a teaching job?

(History: I've got a BS in ChemE and a BA in molecular bio, I work in biotech research, and I'm wondering about the prospects of a career change).

Thanks
