Teacher Education Program
Daniel W. Ball, Ed.D., Director
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 and the College of Arts and Sciences working in close cooperation through the Teacher Education Committee. The Teacher Education Committee represents the subject and professional aspects of teacher education and is a subcommittee of the Curriculum Council of the university.
The objectives of Idaho State University are designed to insure that graduates in teacher education:
b. The ability to think clearly, critically, and logically.
c. An understanding of the past, the ability to evaluate the present, and the capacity to deal intelligently with the future.
d. An understanding of and the ability to apply the basic concepts of science to relevant problems of society.
e. The ability to comprehend and make practical use of the basic facts of mental and physical health.
f. Experience in understanding of, and appreciation for, the fine arts.
g. A knowledge of the basic moral, philosophical, and religious systems of the world.
2. Have an overview of, and sufficient depth in, the subjects they are teaching.
3. Have a broad understanding of and sensitivity to the individual learner, to his/her role in social groups, and to the conditions under which maximum learning occurs for him/her.
4. Be able to provide opportunities for appropriate learning experiences through the selection, organization, and employment of a variety of instructional methods and materials.
5. Have addressed themselves to an understanding of their self-concepts, including their roles as teachers and their responsibilities to their profession and to society.
Fulfilling the general requirements of the Teacher Education Program 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 by courses taken by the teacher education student in the College of Arts and Sciences. Professional education is provided through a broad foundation in the principles and practices of teaching with particular attention being given to educational philosophy, educational psychology, child growth and development, child guidance, and evaluation. Transition from preparation for teaching to actually becoming a teacher is provided during the student teaching period under competent and experienced teachers in Pocatello and other school districts. This professional background is fulfilled by courses taken by the teacher education student while registered in the College of Education or the College of Arts and Sciences.
Review procedures have been established for admission and retention of students in the Teacher Education Program. 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.
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 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.
Accreditation
Idaho State University is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education and is a member of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. It is also approved by the Idaho State Board of Education as a teacher-preparing institution and accredited on an approval program approach. The Bachelor of Music Education degree is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music through the Music Department.

These include: (1) ability to work with and to understand children; (2) proficiency in citizenship and leadership qualities; (3) proficiency in English and in other academic and professional subject matter; and (4) adequate mental and physical health.

Student Teaching
The senior practicum is a professional development experience during which the student or associate teacher reconstructs and tests theory, applies it, and further develops a personal teaching style. It provides an opportunity for the associate teacher to assume major responsibility for the full range of teaching in an approved school situation under the guidance of qualified personnel from Idaho State University and the cooperating elementary and secondary schools.
Admission Procedures
Application for the senior practicum must be filed and an interview completed with the Director of Student Teaching/Field Experiences between October 1 and November 15 for fall semester of the following year and between February 15 and April 15 for spring semester of the following year. There is a $50 charge for late applications and interviews, a $25 charge for change of placement, and a $25 charge for reapplication. Applications for all student teaching practica may be obtained from the Office of Student Teaching/Field Experiences.
The application includes a statement, signed by the advisor and/or preparing department, indicating support of the application. Unsupported applications will not be processed.
Eligibility Criteria
No student will be permitted to enter student teaching until the following are completed:
Admission to student teaching is required for enrollment in core courses
numbered 400 and above.
No student is permitted to enroll in a correspondence course during the semester in which he/she is student teaching without written permission from the Dean of the College of Education or the Dean's designee.
Advisory System
Advisors are appointed each year from the College of Education to assist students in choosing teaching areas and in planning programs to qualify them for particular teaching positions. Students in secondary education are required to have two advisors, one in the College of Education and one in their academic teaching field. Department chairpersons are also available for consultation.
Petitions from students concerning teacher education requirements are initiated with the advisor on forms provided in the College of Education office. The choice of advisor from either the College of Education or one of the other colleges will depend on the nature of the petition. The advisor reviews the petition for form and content and signs it to indicate the student has had the benefit of discussing it with him/her. The student next seeks the signature of the chairman of the department, then files the petition with the Dean of the College of Education for review and action.
Petitions concerning institutional requirements follow the same procedure but are taken by the Dean of the College of Education to the Teacher Education Appeals Committee for that committee's review and action.
Teacher Certification
Students who successfully complete the teacher education program at Idaho State University and present scores achieved on the National Teachers Examination (NTE - core battery and specialty in their major area)
are eligible to receive the Idaho State University recommendation for the Standard K-3 certificate, the Standard Elementary certificate, the Standard Secondary certificate, or the Standard Exceptional Child certificate. Students completing these programs are also eligible for Idaho State University recommendation for certification in many other states through reciprocity and institutional accreditation status. Students who anticipate teaching (certifying) in a state other than Idaho are advised to consult with the Dean's Office in the College of Education as to reciprocity agreement and possible additional requirements related to the states in question.
Procedure for Applying for Certificate
Immediately preceding or following graduation the student should pick up from the office of the Dean of the College of Education the directions for completion and the recommendation form for Idaho certification. This form should be completed as soon as possible and returned along with payment of the certificate fee to the Dean's Office. The form should not be sent to the State Department of Education in Boise.

Single Subject Teaching Majors
The State Board of Education has approved a recommendation submitted by the Advisory Committee on Certification which will permit issuing standard secondary certificates to applicants who show 45 semester hours preparation in an approved teaching field in place of the 30-semester-hour major and 20-semester-hour minor fields.
It is hoped that this program will result in strengthening teacher preparation in those fields where it has sometimes been difficult to emphasize sufficient preparation in a major field and still provide adequate preparation for teaching in a minor field.
Application of the single field endorsement seems particularly appropriate for certain programs of teacher preparation in vocational education and in music. The single field endorsement, however, may be applied to any teaching field common to Idaho secondary schools.
Student advisors are urged to direct the attention of students to the somewhat limited opportunity for full-time employment in the single teaching field in some secondary schools and to urge preparation in more than one field wherever permitted by the program of the student.
In departments where specific programs have not been developed, students may have programs developed in accordance with the intent of this alternative. Interested students should contact the chairman of the appropriate area of interest and the Dean of the College of Education.
