The Utah State Office of Education has authorized the Teacher Education Department at Weber State University to offer a six day master’s level re-licensure course. The course is MEDUC 6920; “Current Issues, Topics and Practices in Education.” It will provide participants 100, 150 or 200 licensure points.

The course will be offered offerings Monday, June 15 through Saturday, June 20, 2009. Class will start at 7:30 am with a continental breakfast on Monday and will be completed by 3:30 each day. Enrollment will be capped at 25 participants. The course will be taught in Room 325 of the McKay Education Building on the Ogden Campus. Please note that this is a graded, for-credit course. Therefore, some outside assignments will be required to meet State and University requirements.

You will need to attend the course based upon the number of re-licensure points you need, not based on course credit. The course will be structured so that all participants attend the first three days and receive 100 points. The remaining three days will be broken into six sessions. Attendance at these sessions will be determined by the number of licensure points needed up to 200. PLEASE contact Kathy Kirk at the Utah State Office of Education, Educator Quality and Licensing office to verify the exact number of points you need to relicense. She may be reached at 801-538-7532.

There is an Internet Basics pre-session being offered on Friday, June 12th, from 9:00 am till noon in room 304 of the Mckay Education Building.  This sessions DOES NOT count towards your licensure points, nor course credit.  It is for those participants who would like to come to get hands-on training that will help you understand how to access the World Wide Web through the Internet and gain an understanding of how to find, analyze, and incorporate information and resources into a K-12 classroom setting.  It will also help those less confident in their web skills be more successful with the activities and assignments during the regular course sessions.

• 0 to 100 points: register for 2 credit hours, CRN 11803 ($604.37) and you must attend all of the first 3 days.  You will earn 100 licensure points.
