Not in Our District

Written by

I’ve typically used this column to celebrate positive achievements throughout our school district. And, there is so much to celebrate and so many to recognize! Thank you to remarkable teachers, administrators and support professionals who strive every day to make a difference in the lives of children.

Recently, we have been experiencing an escalation of intolerant behavior in our schools. Instances of fighting, taunting, cyberbullying and harassment are on the rise. One could easily conclude that the current national discourse in areas such as politics, religious tolerance, race relations, free speech, etc. is filtering into our schools and having a substantial impact. 

I’m calling upon every Weber School District employee to be proactive in establishing a climate in each of our schools and in every classroom where tolerance is promoted and bias speech or conduct is eliminated. You can do this on a daily basis by setting a tone in your school and classroom where inclusion is encouraged and tolerance is promoted. Each one of us should find teachable moments to clearly articulate expectations and zero-tolerance policies regarding the denigration of others for any reason—whether that’s clothing, appearance, body size, gender orientation, religious differences, ethnicity or race. Please ensure that potential vulnerable students are protected and feel safe. Creating a safe learning environment is the first key to a whole child education. Inspire students to have the courage to speak up when they see or hear anything that would compromise that safe school climate.

Several years ago, we had the privilege of hosting Elizabeth Eckford, one of the original Little Rock Nine, at one of our schools. Elizabeth recounted the nightmarish experience she had at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, as one of the first students of color to attend a desegregated school in 1957—60 years ago! What she experienced then still haunts her to this day. In fact, she continues to suffer from PTSD (post-traumatic stress syndrome). It was an extraordinary thing to watch our young students interact with Elizabeth, who rarely makes a public appearance. So many students connected with her on a profoundly personal level as they considered their own vulnerabilities and insecurities. It was one of the most memorable days of my professional career. At the conclusion of the day, Elizabeth shared something with me that I’ll never forget. She told me that she was an acquaintance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On one occasion, Dr. King described for her what he envisioned as a “Beautiful Community.” Then, she paid the highest tribute when she said, “After spending a day in your city and in your district, I believe this is a ‘beautiful community.’” 

I’ve come to realize that keeping our district and our town a “beautiful community” requires constant vigilance. While we may not be able to change the national discourse, we can certainly influence what takes place in our schools. The power of a teacher, principal or support professional should never be underestimated. So, I’m calling on each of you to join with me in saying, “NOT IN OUR DISTRICT!”  Let’s work together to ensure that every student feels safe from bullying and harassment. Let’s re-double our efforts to make sure that every student feels valued. And, let’s fight to ensure that tolerance, inclusion and acceptance become hallmarks of our schools. It truly is “The Weber Way.”

Academic Pathway to Teaching (APT) Information

Written by

State Board Requirements

APT is an alternative pathway to a Utah Educator License approved by the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) in June 2016. It is governed by Utah Administrative Rule R277-511.

It allows an individual who has a bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited university to pass the appropriate Board-approved content knowledge test to apply for and receive a Level 1 APT License with an Elementary (Grades K-6) or Secondary (Grades 6-12) area of concentration.

This license is valid for three school years and if the individual is not hired in a teaching position in Utah may be renewed using the standard Level 1 renewal procedures.

A Utah public school district or charter school (Local Education Agency (LEA)) that chooses to hire an individual holding this type of license must assign a master teacher as the individual’s mentor and must prepare the individual to meet the Public Educator Evaluation Requirements (PEER). Once hired, the individual must complete the Entry Years Enhancements (EYE) program to be eligible for upgrade to a standard Level 2 Utah Educator license.

In addition to the EYE requirements, the individual must complete three years of full-time teaching or four years of at least 0.4 Full Time Employment (FTE) of teaching under the supervision of the master teacher, any additional requirements of the recommending LEA, and receive the recommendation of the master teacher mentor and the LEA administrator.
Weber School District Requirements

In order to be considered for employment with Weber District under this license, an applicant must obtain the APT-Level 1 License through the Utah Board of Education Office as described above within on year of hire. Once a candidate obtains an APT- Level 1 License, the District will determine course work required of the candidate in order to be recommended for a Level 2 License. These courses must be taken during the candidate’s first three years of employment, during the employee’s provisional status. The course work the District will require is similar to those required by the ARL program. (See APT Courses Handout). The District may make exceptions to the course requirements based on an employee’s transcripts, past work experience, job performance, or relevant workshop and/or conference attendance. For now, the majority of the courses will be required through accredited universities, although eventually, the District hopes to offer the course work itself, so employees need not pay tuition rates of universities.

Those looking to move mover over from the ARL program to the APT program will need to meet with the District APT Committee to determine what years and course work from the ARL program may be transferred. At least one year has to be completed through the APT program if an employee transfers over. Please keep in mind as stated above, an employee with an APT license is also responsible for the EYE requirements during this 3 year period before they could be considered for an upgrade to a Level 2 License.
