Educator Licensing Information
Licensure is a condition of employment for all certified/licensed positions at American Leadership Academy. It is the responsibility of the employee to properly obtain and maintain a current license with the state of Utah. Educator licenses and content endorsements are issued by the Utah State Board of Education. We employ educators with an LEA-Specific license/endorsement.
“The following designations or levels apply to educator licenses, license areas (i.e.-elementary, secondary, special education), and content endorsements (i.e.-mathematics, music, Spanish, social studies):
1. Professional: The educator has completed an educator preparation program that includes content and pedagogical knowledge. This program may have been completed at a university or in an alternate pathway that was supported by school districts/charters and the Utah State Board of Education.
2. Associate: The educator is currently completing an educator preparation program, but has not yet complete all requirements for a Professional Educator License, license area, or endorsement. The educator is enrolled in a university-based or Local Education Agency (LEA)-based program. When the educator completes the program, they will have a professional level.
3. LEA Specific: The educator has not completed an educator preparation and is not currently enrolled in one.”
