Q & AWhat are the Mentor Teacher and Content Leader Endorsements?
These are certifications you can add to your teaching certificate and are important steps on the leadership path. Below is a breakdown of endorsements available:
How could I use the endorsements/certification? A mentor teacher is a classroom teacher who supports aspiring clinical residents and new teachers, as well as more experienced teachers needing additional support. This endorsement is required by September 1, 2020, of all mentor teachers hosting clinical residents. A content leader is a classroom teacher or district leader who specializes in a content area and supports that discipline on the school or district level. What if my district is funding my training? For individuals and small groups registering, save your registration tuition receipt for reimbursement purposes from your school/district. For larger groups from one district participating, contact Dr. Amy Vessel. When I pass the required portfolio assessment, how do I secure my endorsement? Ask your school district to assist you in applying for your endorsement. You will need to attach three items to your application: (1) Certificate of Portfolio Completion, (2) Louisiana Tech Enrollment Letter, and (3) Louisiana Tech transcript verifying completion of coursework. We will provide #1 and #2. You will have to request your official transcript from the university. Serving as a mentor or content leader is an incredible opportunity to prepare leaders in education and bring prestige to our profession. We are honored at Louisiana Tech University to provide graduate coursework to prepare Louisiana's leaders for the future. |
