Haley is currently at Les Bois Jr. High in Mr. Hampton's tech classroom. She has been astounded by the ways students have been learning through hands-on projects based courses and is inspired to create that learning environment in her own classroom one day. We can't wait to see what you do, Haley!

Meet Haley! She's an Engineering Plus major who is working on her IDoTeach certificate. She plans to use her certificate to either bring a different perspective into the engineering industry or to work within a school in order to inspire curiosity about STEM. This week we'll learn more about why Haley joined the IDoTeach program!

School districts across Idaho are experiencing teacher and personnel shortages due to pandemic-related absences. In addition to the shortages, districts are facing a lack of substitute teachers who are able to cover these personnel absences and have called on stakeholders around the state for help. Those stakeholders are facing their own kinds of crisis standards of care resource management decisions.

Boise State University College of Education is placing teacher candidates in short-staffed schools while offering those candidates high-quality field experiences and mentoring.

Teacher candidates like Boise State student Jenna Urquidez – majoring in elementary education and teaching English to speakers of other languages/English as a new language major – typically complete over 900 hours in the field during their final year in the program. A PK-12 mentor teacher and a Boise State faculty liaison supervise students like Urquidez during their clinical field placements and support their progress in the program. Uriquidez is completing her student teaching semester in teacher Sonia Galaviz’s fourth and fifth-grade combination class at Garfield Elementary School in Boise.

The college supports schools by redefining how clinical field placement meet the necessary requirements, thus freeing mentor teachers to cover teacher absences in other classrooms. Intern and student teachers are also helping fill other vacancies that schools are not able to cover through substitutes.
