The twelve principles listed below are the framework on which the Secondary Teacher Certification Program at Utah State University is built. They represent a shared vision of the competencies needed for successful teaching. Students in our program develop the skills, attitudes, and knowledge reflected within each principle in their university general education courses, courses in their majors and minors, and in their professional education course. These principles serve as the blueprint for the professional portfolio all students submit prior to student teaching. The portfolio serves as a measure of student achievement in each of these twelve areas.
