Mission Statement
Our purpose in Student Teaching Services is to uplift each student as a disciple of Christ with eternal significance and potential.
- Prepare Tomorrow's Leaders Through our services and support, we strive to prepare students for the crucial work of teaching today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders. We desire to increase every student's capacity to build others and add value wherever they serve.
- Maximize Professional Development We believe every teacher candidate deserves the opportunity to maximize their professional development through a capstone student teaching experience. We are committed to providing an authentic, relevant experience within our partner school districts.
- Experience the BYU-Idaho Teaching Model We train partner schools to implement the BYU-Idaho model for student teaching, which features consistent mentoring, daily co-planning and co-teaching, timely feedback, and robust classroom experience. Additionally, we provide candidates with regular supervision from Danielson-certified evaluators.
- Advocate for Teacher Candidates We serve as an advocate for each teacher candidate to secure high-quality placements, ensuring that candidates and mentors are collectively engaged in the daily process of student learning.
