Idaho State University Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000

Division of Teacher Education
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. This committee represents the subject and professional aspects of teacher education and is a sub-committee of the Curriculum Council of the university.
The objectives 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 Standards 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 well-being.
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 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 Associate 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.
Full Admission to Teacher Education Program
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 and implemented by the Teacher Education Committee, a committee representing all Idaho State University teacher education programs.
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 the program, 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. 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:

A 2.75 overall grade point average including all transfer credits or credits earned in a previous degree program.

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; students should not plan to enroll in any additional coursework during the student teaching semester.

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.
