How do teachers advance to a Level 2 License?

USOE New Teacher Expectations (EYE Requirements):
General Education and Special Education Teachers*
**All new teachers are required to contact the Human Resources Department prior to registering for a Praxis test. This will ensure that new teachers register for the correct test.
In addition, CSD new teachers should begin their careers by following the Utah Teaching Standards. A copy can be found here: http://www.schools.utah.gov/cert/Educator-Effectiveness-Project/Teaching-and-Leadership-Standards.aspx

What should the EYE portfolio look like?
CSD’s new teacher portfolio consists mainly of the JPAS materials collected from each evaluation. The Feedback Report and Evidence of Planning and Professional Growth for each interview are included in the portfolio. The evidence includes student work, assessments and collaboration results. In addition, teachers may include commendations, letters from parents and/or community members, or other special evidence of excellence.
