New endorsement formalizes teacher leadership

Illinois State's Teacher Leader Endorsement is offered as a program by itself or as part of one of three different graduate degree programs in the College of Education.

Empowering talented educators to broaden their impact by formalizing their leadership roles in schools and districts is the purpose of Illinois State’s new teacher leader program.

How can we best serve the learning needs of students? This question informs all educator preparation programs at Illinois State University.

New standard for sustainability

The College of Education's decision to transition The Statewide Standard from a print to an electronic publication is part of Illinois State University's Illinois State efforts to promote campus sustainability, and is part of its strategic plan, Educating Illinois 2013-2018.

Campus sustainability is a central tenet of Illinois State University’s strategic plan, Educating Illinois 2013-2018. Sustainability is an evolving, environmentally conscious philosophy focused on maintaining and improving the services the University offers without compromising resources for future generations.
