Educational Technology Endorsement Program

About the Program

The Educational Technology Endorsement Program (ETEP) is an intensive 2-year professional development program provided to a select group of Granite teachers by the Granite Educational Technology Department. It comprises a blend of evening face-to-face sessions and online learning in which teachers explore ways to leverage classroom technology in a constructivist, student-centered approach to increase instructional effectiveness and student achievement. The ETEP program is based on the framework of the eMINTS program, a former educational technology professional development project administered in Granite School District.

Objectives for this project include:

  • Enhance teacher instructional practices by using technology seamlessly in classrooms
  • Emphasize project-based learning, constructivist approaches, and student-centered classrooms
  • Enrich instructional effectiveness
  • Increase student academic achievement

This program is intensive, with participation in a 2 credit hour course required every quarter. Each course includes 4 face-to-face sessions as well as 3 online modules. A fully online summer course is also required. At the successful completion of the two-year program, participants will have received 18 credit hours (USBE or SUU) and also receive their Educational Technology Endorsement.

The district provides the following for each participant:

  • Teacher Chromebook
  • 18 hours of college or lane change credit.  8 credit hours in year one, and 10 credit hours in year two (one online course during the summer.) (Participant must pay for SUU credit. USBE credit is free.)
  • Educational Technology Endorsement on teaching certificate. (Participant must submit paperwork and pay fee to USOE.)

We seek qualified educators who are:

  • Enthusiastic about learning, teaching, and technology
  • Excellent with classroom management
  • Teaching in a style that emphasizes a student-centered classroom
  • Tech savvy
