+1 on Coach Shields. Great coach and great person

My understanding is that you can be hired as a teacher without an education degree.You would be required to work on getting the proper degree/requirements.

 

This is incorrect, in regard to the local public schools. In working in the local system, I know large parts of Kenton and Boone are currently cutting teachers with the proper credentials, so they certainly wouldn't look to bring someone in without them. That said, your local independent/private schools may differ.

 

I find it offensive that a school would ever higher any teacher without the proper credentials just to coach. These players are supposed to be student athletes and are supposed to have to meet certain requirements to play.... Therefore, if the coach is going to be a teacher, he/she should be held to a proper standard.

 

Don't mistake my opinion, however, I don't think people should have to work in the school to be a coach.

Tony Haskamp and Ben Lonneman at Villa Madonna are towards the top of the list.

What do they coach?

 

Did they come in with Coach Dilts last season?

Answered my own question...

Not sure if any head varsity jobs are open or not but who are some of the top assistants in the 9th that would make a good varsity coach soon?

 

I like coach Bowman from Conner. He always seems to find ways to win and his players always work hard for him.

I'm pretty sure Lonneman was the head JV coach this year and Haskamp was the assistant varsity coach.

They had a very young team this year and improved a TON during the season.

I know the Camels are in the 10th Region for some strange reason, but don't forget about Jerry Gross! Great Coach!

Actually Clyde is correct and I can testify to it. I was hired in Kenton Co. as a Special Education teacher on a temporary certificate while I was completing my Master's at Georgetown College in Special Education. My bachelor's degree is Business Administration, so I did not have full credentials my first year teaching in Kenton Co. but was paid on the same scale as all other teachers in the district.

And, this school in Kenton County hired you just to coach? Or, do you coach at a smaller private school? Also, you had a temporary certificate. And, also hired in Special Education, funded by the state, which is a whole other animal.

Clyde said that you could be hired without an education degree (I was hired with a bachelor's in Business), he also stated that you would have to be working towards your degree (I was working toward my degree in Special Education, hence the temporary certificate). You stated the he was incorrect, I was simply stating that Clyde is correct in what he was saying.

I said I would find it offensive that a school would hire someone without the proper credentials just to coach. Also, when were you hired? This was likely a different time. A couple years ago maybe.... Cuts are being made now. And, do you coach at the school that hired you? That was my whole point. Being hired to teach, but primarily to coach.

I do not find it offensive, because most schools now have a five year program that allows you to graduate with your masters after a fifth year. This is called the MIC program at UK. Moreover, there are several different ways to become certified to teach and work towards your certification.

To be quite frank, I'd rather have someone that has a clue about coaching and is working towards their teaching certification than someone who is a teacher but doesn't have a clue about how to coach coaching the team.

MAT---Master of Arts in Teaching.

For people who already have a bachelors degree.

NKU and Thomas More both offer a 2-yr hybrid program where much of it is completed online and you go to the campus maybe once a week.

Many schools will hire you if you are enrolled in this program even if you have not completed it.

Pangallo is my choice.
