Teacher Education Program
Idaho State University has an institutional commitment to the preparation of teachers. This commitment is carried out by the faculties of the College of Education, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Kasiska College of Health Professions, working in close cooperation through the Teacher Education Committee. This committee represents the subject and professional aspects of teacher education and is a sub-committee of the Curriculum Council of the University.
The coursework and clinical experiences of the Idaho State University Teacher Education Program are designed to insure that graduates in teacher education meet the following Core Standards for Beginning Teachers:
- Subject Matter Knowledge
The teacher understands the central processes of inquiry of the subject matter he or she teaches and creates learning experiences that make subject matter meaningful to students.- Professional Studies and Research
The teacher uses alternative theoretical perspectives and research to guide instructional decisionmaking and reflection on practice.- Student Individual Differences
The teacher uses knowledge about student individual differences to plan, deliver, and analyze instruction.- Planning for Instruction
The teacher plans meaningful learning experiences that promote student achievement and active involvement in learning.- Instructional Delivery
The teacher uses a variety of instructional strategies to promote student achievement and active engagement in learning.- Assessment
The teacher uses a variety of formal and informal assessments to evaluate learning and teaching.- Management of the Learning Environment
The teacher creates and maintains a safe and effective learning environment.- Technology
The teacher uses technology in the planning, delivery, analysis, and assessment of learning and instruction.- Literacy/Communication
The teacher supports and expands student literacy skills and models effective communication.- School to Work Transition
The teacher understands the central philosophical principles and processes of the schooltowork concept and creates learning experiences that enable student career awareness, exploration, and decisionmaking.- Family, School, and Community Relationships and Resources
The teacher fosters relationships with the family, school, and community to support student learning and wellbeing.- Personal Characteristics and Interpersonal Skills
The teacher displays beliefs, values, and behaviors that guide the ethical dimensions of professional practice.Fulfilling the general requirements of teacher education gives the candidate for teaching a well-rounded education. Choice of a subject major and a subject minor provides the teaching background specialization for the secondary school teacher. Certain subject field requirements provide for the specialization needed by elementary school teachers. This general and specialized education is fulfilled via courses taken by the teacher education student in the College of Arts and Sciences and College of Health Professions. Professional education is provided through a broad foundation in the principles and practices of teaching with particular attention being given to pedagogy, educational psychology, child growth and development, child guidance, and assessment. Transition from preparation for teaching to actually becoming a teacher is provided during the internship period under competent and experienced teachers in area school districts.
Review procedures have been established for admission and retention of students in teacher education. These procedures also call for a review of each individual prior to a recommendation for certification. Copies of these standards and procedures are available from the Idaho State Department of Education and can be obtained from the Dean of the College of Education.
Because of the responsibility of a member of the teaching profession to the total development of young people, and notwithstanding a student's enrollment in or graduation from the College of Education, the Dean and the faculty of the College of Education reserve the right to refuse to recommend a student for a standard teaching certificate, or to admit a student to a teaching program, if such recommendation or assignment, in the discretion of the Dean and faculty of the College of Education, would appear to be contrary to or in violation of Sections 33-1202 and/or 33-1208, Idaho Code.

Application for admission and the scheduling of the admission interview are completed through forms available in the Student Academic Advising Center of the College of Education.
