UAPCS decided to be an APPEL (Alternate Pathway to Professional Educator License) provider to serve our charter schools that often lack the economies of scale that a district school can take advantage of. We love being able to support candidates in rounding out their education to receive a professional teaching license or additional endorsements. We appreciate great teachers that “promote excellence in Utah’s public charter schools” (it’s part of our mission)! Candidates not only receive education plans but can take several classes directly from our program for their convenience. Our Director of Teacher Licensing is Joylin Lincoln, with April Thompson as a program coordinator. For program information, email appel@utahcharters.org.
