Employment
Interested in Becoming a BTS Arts Educator?
While the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) plays a crucial role in overseeing and funding the Beverley Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program (BTS Arts), it's important to understand that USBE itself does not directly hire BTS Arts educators. Instead, USBE awards grants to individual Local Education Agencies (LEAs), which include school districts and charter schools, to implement the program within their elementary schools. These LEAs are then responsible for hiring licensed arts educators who meet the program's qualifications to fill these positions within their schools.
Therefore, aspiring BTS Arts educators should focus their job search efforts directly on the human resources departments and job boards of specific Utah school districts and charter schools. While USBE sets the statewide licensing requirements and provides program guidelines, actual employment opportunities are initiated and managed at the local LEA level, with BTS Arts educators being supervised by their individual school administrators.
