What We Do at Liahona High

We were called to be adjunct professors and to teach BYU-H Dept. of Education courses to members of the Liahona Staff who need to earn their "teaching certificate."  A diploma or certificate are not required to be hired as a teacher, as all secondary schools are 'private.'  LDS schools require new hires to earn a 'teacher certificate' by taking 10 required BYU-H courses which are taught by ITEP (International Teacher Education Program) Missionaries.  We have a handful of teachers who are taking the courses each afternoon after the students return home.  During the day we prepare our lessons for the courses and do classroom observations and give general support to the school.  Right now Bryce is teaching Technology in the Classroom on Mondays, Sherrie is teaching Human Growth and Development on Wednesdays, and we co-teach on Tuesday and Thursdays Effective Pedagogy and the Classroom.               This is the best mission in the church!
