Faculty And Staff
The Winter Sports School in Park City provides an educational opportunity that is unparalleled anywhere in the world. Our schedule allows student athletes to focus all of their attention on academics when they are in school and on their chosen sport when the season is underway.
LEA Educator Licensing Notice
Under Utah State Board Rule 277-301-7 this serves as notice that Winter Sports School has in its employ individual(s) who hold LEA-specific educator licenses, license areas, or endorsements.
The following designations or levels apply to educator licenses, license areas (i.e.-elementary, secondary, special education), and content endorsements (e.g.-mathematics, music, Spanish, social studies).
- 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.
- Associate: The educator is currently completing an educator preparation program, but has not yet completed 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.
- LEA-Specific: The educator has not completed an educator preparation and is not currently enrolled in one.
The following is a link to the Utah Educator Look-up Tool provided in accordance to R277-301: Educator Licensing: Educator Licensing Lookup – Utah Educator Licensing Web Portal and data on % by FTE and Qualifications of Utah educators, including those at WSS.
The following is a link to USBE’s Educator Licensing website page, where LEA provides an annual report of FTE% in each of the above categories.
For the 2022-2023 School Year, of the WSS total FTE (full-time equivalency) of licensed teachers of 6.69 FTE, 15% or .99 FTE of our teaching assignments are educators who hold LEA-Specific educator’s licenses or endorsements for specific teaching assignments.
That equates to two part-time teachers, both with Master’s degrees, and three single-course teaching assignments that require additional LEA-Specific endorsements added to other endorsements already on educator professional level licenses. https://schools.utah.gov/licensing/adminsupportscactus
