This episode covers the UAPCS APPEL Program. APPEL stands for Alternate Pathway to Professional Educator License. All teachers who do not go through a traditional teacher college, can get a professional license through an APPEL program. Many district and other charter schools have their own programs, but UAPCS also has its own robust program. Joylin Lincoln and April Thompson coordinate the teacher candidates for UAPCS.
In this episode I discuss with Joylin why an APPEL program is necessary, the types of teacher licenses, and how the program works.
