These BYU Continuing Education courses fulfill the requirements for the Utah Elementary Mathematics Endorsement:

Attendance Policy: This policy is formulated on the fact that missing one class of the Mathematics Endorsement is equal to missing three classes of a regular course. We recognize that teachers may have to miss one class due to parent-teacher conferences but that will be counted as one missed class. Participants are expected to attend classes that may be held during spring break or other school breaks.

The following is the attendance policy for all classes of the Mathematics Endorsement offered through CITES: Two missed classes, excused or unexcused–loss of a full grade (from A to B, for example). Three missed classes, excused or unexcused–no credit for the class. Missing one hour of class time, excused or unexcused (either by coming late or leaving early), will count as a missed class. Exceptions to this policy may be considered through a written request to Dr. Barry Graff, CITES Professional Development Director.

Class Information: Location is determined by the instructor and Classes are held at Lehi Elementary, 765 N Center, Lehi, UT 84043 OR Mountain View High School, 665 Center St, Orem, UT 84057.

Classes are held on Tuesday evenings from 4:30-7:30.
