Boise State College of Education’s Instructional Model takes an inquiry stance to teaching and learning through the iterative process of planning, assessment and reflection. The three parts of the Standard Performance Assessment of Teaching (S-PAT), the final performance assessment a teacher candidate completes at the end of the program, aligns with the instructional model. The S-PAT includes Part 1 Unit Plan (planning), Part 2 Assessment Analysis (assessment) and Part 3 Concluding Reflection (reflection).
Whether you’ve never taken a university class or you are a veteran teacher, Boise State College of Education offers a variety of programs to help you attain your professional goals from earning a teaching certificate to adding an endorsement.
