Teachers with coaching AUTHORIZATIONS wanting to add coaching as an ENDORSEMENT to their teaching license:
- All the coursework needs to have been completed with college semester hour credit. The community education non-credit hours will not be accepted for this.
- There are two different applications a person can use to apply for this.
- Completing all the requirements at a State Approved teacher prep institution. This method requires a recommendation by the college or university where the classes were all completed. Applicants should check with their institution before they apply using this method.
- Completing all the following to meet the minimum State requirements: Structure and Function of the Human Body, Prevention and Care of Athletic Injuries, Coaching Theory/Methods, Human Growth and Development, CPR, and the concussion certificate. The process of adding this endorsement by satisfying the State minimum requirements involves a two-part process. First an application is made by uploading official transcripts and other documents so that the coursework can be evaluated. This is a $60.00 transcript analysis fee. After the transcript is analyzed, you will receive an email from us. If you have satisfied the requirements, the second part of the process requires a $50.00 add endorsement fee.
