Potential Teacher Candidates

Considering the University of Idaho College of Education, Health and Human Sciences for your educator preparation program? We are looking forward to visiting with you about the many options available. Below you will find links to the various programs and contact information for faculty and staff ready to answer any questions!

Before you are enrolled in a degree program that leads to teacher certification, and considering to take the steps leading toward becoming a teacher is who we consider a potential teacher candidate. Above are links to the degree program information and steps that outline the basic process of becoming a teacher. Researching this type of information is the precursor to taking steps, or Step 0.

In general if you have no college completed, one of our B.S. degrees (undergraduate) is a good start to becoming a certified teacher. If you have some college or a degree already, a good place to start is our Secondary Education M.A.T. where you can use your current coursework as a stepping stone towards a master's degree to teach your subject to middle or high school students. Some students are seeking teacher certification only, or adding a teaching endorsement, which we also offer.

IKEEP scholars are part of a teaching cohort committed to innovation in indigenous education. For more details, visit our IKEEP page.
