Educator Preparation Accountability Measures

Candidates pursuing teaching, professional school personnel, or administrative careers in schools and other professional roles will find an assortment of integrated programs organized to meet their professional aspirations. All programs of the College are experiential, collaborative, standards-based, assessment-informed, research-guided, and technology-supported. Idaho State University has an institutional commitment to educator preparation. Educator preparation programs are offered through the faculties of the College of Education, the College of Arts and Letters, the College of Science and Engineering, and the Division of Health Sciences.

Press Release: Idaho’s Teacher Shortage Program Persists
In the state of Idaho, individuals who want to find a teaching position can find a teaching position. A small number of completers take jobs out of state as several of our programs are available online and have been attractive to those who live out of state. The remaining completers without an Idaho license choose not to apply for licensure or secure an employment contract with a public school in Idaho.
