Teacher Inservice Guidelines

Community Programs administers the Teacher Inservice program under the direction of Jack Peasley. The State Board of Education has enacted policies which determine our administration of the fees and activities. These include:

1. The student in a Teacher Inservice course must be a public school teacher or other professional employee of an Idaho school district.
2. The credit awarded is for professional development and cannot be applied towards a degree program.
3. The costs of instruction are paid for by an entity other than the institution.
4. The course must be approved by the appropriate academic unit(s) at the institution.

The fee for Teacher Inservice courses is set annually by the SBOE at approximately 1/3 the regular rate for part-time credits. Because the institution does not pay for instruction, this allows for the discounted rate for teachers. Private school teachers and teachers from schools outside of Idaho are not eligible for this discounted fee. Students not eligible for the Teacher Inservice rate, but who wish to participate in a Teacher Inservice course, must enroll in a separate section and pay the institution’s regular part-time fee.
