The JSD Aspiring Coach Pathway has been designed as a co-hort for educators who do not currently have a coaching assignment at their school, but are interested in extending their career pathway towards instructional coaching practice.
These new endorsement classes are offered after contract time and involve the completion of college level coursework in addition to demonstrated skills and competencies in instructional coaching practice. The endorsement classes will be mixed, with educators from each instructional grade level welcome to attend.
Currently this co-hort of endorsement classes is offered to any interested Jordan School District certificated personnel. NOTE: Prerequisites for the endorsement may be accomplished concurrently with the endorsement courses and competency pathway, but must be completed prior to being eligible to apply for the endorsement posting on the educator license.
