education requirements are initiated with the advisor on forms which are
available in the Office of Clinical Experiences and Student Services. The
advisor will review the petition for form and content and provide a recommendation.
The student next seeks the signature and recommendation of his/her Division
Director, then files it with the Director of Clinical Experiences and Student
Services for review and/or action. Petitions concerning general education
requirements of the university must also have the signature of the Assistant
Dean, College of Arts and Sciences.
Certification Procedures
Students who successfully complete the teacher education program at Idaho
State University are eligible to receive the Idaho State University recommendation
for the Standard K-3 certificate, the Standard Elementary certificate,

are advised to consult with the Office of Clinical Experiences and Student
Services in the College of Education as to reciprocity agreement and possible
additional requirements related to the states in question.
The student will initiate the certification process by obtaining an application for certification from the Office of Clinical Experiences and Student Services. The application must be completed by the student and returned with the transcript order and check or money order for the certificate attached. After the end of the semester, the necessary paperwork will be processed and signed by the Director of Clinical Experiences and Student Services and forwarded to the State Department of Education Certification Office. The College of Education maintains a record of all individuals recommended for certification. The Director of Clinical Experiences and Student Services is the official certification officer for the College of Education; all requests for certification must be processed and signed by the certification officer before the papers can be processed by any state Office of Certification.

These functions will be performed in cooperation with the following agencies within this office:
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 College of Health
Professions, working in close cooperation through the School Personnel
and Related Programs Committee. This committee represents all school personnel
preparation programs and is a subcommittee of the university's Curriculum
Council.
The objectives of Idaho State University are designed to insure that graduates in teacher education:
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 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 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 College of Education Office of Standards and Assessment.
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.
Full Admission to Teacher Education
Students must make formal application and complete an interview for admission
to the Teacher Education Program. Application for admission and the scheduling
of the admission interview are completed through forms available in the
main office of the College of Education. Standards for admission are approved
by the School Personnel and Related Programs Committee and are implemented
by the Office of Clinical Experiences and Student Services.
Students in teacher education are under the same general probationary policy as the rest of Idaho State University as far as probation and dismissal from the institution are concerned. However, to obtain recommendation for admission to teacher education and to remain in it, certain broader criteria apply in respect to the applicant's general fitness for the teaching profession. These include (1) ability to work with and to understand children; (2) proficiency in citizenship and leadership qualities; (3) proficiency in English and other academic and professional subject matter; and (4) adequate mental and physical health. Students with deficiencies in scholarship or in any of the criteria may be withdrawn from the program.
Application for admission to teacher education is made on forms provided in the administrative offices of the College of Education following the completion of at least 24 credits hours of college work including EDUC 200, Aide Experience. Students may not register for core courses numbered 300 and above until full admittance to teacher education is achieved. Students who have been denied admittance to teacher education may reapply when deficiencies have been met. Criteria for admission include the following:
ENGL 101 (English Composition) or College of Education
approved equivalent.
COMM 101 (Public Speaking) or College of Education
approved equivalent.
MATH 160 or 170 or 123 or 127 or 209 or 130 or 253 or
College of Education approved equivalent.
Denial of Admission to Teacher Education
Students who have been denied admittance to teacher education may reapply;
however, they must meet the standards for admission in place at the time
of their reapplication to attain full admission.
Senior Practicum/Student Teaching
Richard L. Sagness, Ph.D., Director, Office of Clinical Experiences
and Student Services
The senior practicum, or student teaching, is designed to be the culminating professional laboratory experience for students in teacher education. This 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.
Student teaching is scheduled for a full semester and includes enrollment in EDUC 498, Student Teaching Seminar; therefore, students should not plan to enroll in any additional coursework during the student teaching semester.
Admission to Student Teaching
Application for student teaching must be filed and an interview completed
with the Director of the Office of Clinical Experiences and Student Services
between October 1 and November 15 for fall semester of the following year,
and between February 1 and March 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 may be obtained from the Office of Clinical Experiences
and Student Services in the administrative offices of the College of Education.
The application must be signed by the advisor(s) and the Director of the Office of Clinical Experiences and Student Services.
Eligibility Criteria
No student will be permitted to enter student teaching courses (EDUC 492,
493, 494, 495, 496, H E 495, P E 495, LIBR 495, SPED 495, FCS 495) until
the following are completed or achieved:
Correspondence Courses
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 Director of the Office of Clinical Experiences and Student Services.
Reasonable Accommodation for Students with Disabilities
If you have a diagnosed disability or believe that you have a disability
that might require "reasonable accommodation" on the part of
the instructor, please call the Director of the Center of Services for
Students with Disabilities (236-3912). As a part of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, it is the responsibility of the student to disclose a
disability prior to requesting reasonable accommodation.
