Jordan School District Aspiring Coach Pathway
2024-25 Instructional Coaching Endorsement (Cohort 2)
The JSD Aspiring Coach Pathway has been designed as a cohort 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.
Pathway Details: 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.
Due to the limited number of seats, Cohort 2 will be offered with the following seating priority:
- Jordan School District certificated personnel who have a principal enrollment request.
- Jordan School District certificated personnel who have met the prerequisites and have a principal recommendation.
- Jordan School District certificated personnel who will complete the prerequisites concurrently with the endorsement requirements and have a principal recommendation.
Prerequisites:
- Current professional license (secondary, elementary, Special Education)
- 5 years of classroom teaching experience or equivalent
- Instructional coaching experience or school level teacher leadership experience (e.g. department chair, mentor, etc.)
- Experience providing instruction and professional learning to adult educators
- 3 consecutive years of effective or higher rating on UETS according to LEA rating system or equivalent
- At least 1-year full-time employment in the Utah Education System
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.
