Endorsement Classes

Education Technology Endorsement Program:
 
CUES, in partnership with the Utah Education Network and Southern Utah University, is providing an endorsement in Educational Technology.  
 
Registration is now open for Summer 2017 Courses.  See below for courses being taught by CUES, and clicking the course title will take you to the registration page.  Or, go to uen.gosignmeup.com for a listing of all available UEN courses being offered.  
 
Are you interested in the Educational Technology Endorsement Program? Submit this form.  More specific information will be sent to you after signing up.  The endorsement signup is ongoing, and can be done anytime. 
 
The Educational Technology Endorsement Program (ETEP) consists of 18 credit hours: 9 one-credit courses through UEN and 3 three-credit courses from SUU. This endorsement can be completed entirely though online courses, but in person and Flex (a combination of online and in person) courses are also available.  Most participants take about 2 years to complete all requirements, though it can be done in a single year.  However, the endorsement must be completed within three years from when it is started.  Courses may be taken with the CUES trainer or any other UEN trainer.  However, courses offered through CUES will only be available to Regional employees, and will require an access code to register for them, thus eliminating the problem of courses being full.  The CUES courses will be scheduled so as to offer two or three classes from each ISTE Standard over a years span, thus giving participants the ability to complete the endorsement requirements in that time.   The highlighted courses below will be offered by CUES this summer.  Click here to see an outline of the curses being offered by CUES through the summer of 2018.
 
The ETEP program is focused around the ISTE Standards for Teachers.  Participants will take various courses from Standards 1 - 4.  Standard 5 is achieved through participation in the ETEP program and attendance at an EdTech conference. Each credit earned in the program translates to a 5000 level graduate credit from SUU, and can also be used for relincensure hours or salary lane changes.  Coursework can be applied towards a Master degree program from Southern Utah University as well.  Continue below for an overview of possible course offerings and requirements.
 
Course information: The UEN online courses are 6 weeks long and generally don't have a set "class time" to meet, but consists of weekly readings, videos, assignments, projects, and/or discussion posts to complete. On the other hand, the SUU courses are 12 weeks in length, and besides weekly assignments, does have a weekly hour- long web conferencing component.  An in person course is two days (15 hours) long, whereas a Flex course is 1 day in person, then 4 weeks online to complete any projects or assignments.  Each UEN course counts as 1 credit hour while the SUU courses are 3 credit hours.  Are there specific courses you'd like to take?  Request which UEN courses CUES offers by completing this form
 
Course registration: Registration for courses can take place anytime, barring the course isn't full, up to the start day of the course.  Courses are on a trimester-type setting, with new courses available for registration beginning August 1 for Fall courses, December 1 for Spring courses, and April 1st for Summer courses.  You'll be able to register for the courses taught by CUES via the link which will be sent to you, or search here for additional courses taught by UEN.  Participants will need a UEN Canvas account (this is different than your district's account) in order to register.  If you do not have one, this can be done by clicking the above link, then "create account" in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
 
Cost per credit: $21.00 (payable to SUU AFTER the completion of each course.)
