NEW IN IDAHO The Clinical Experience

• American Board is expanding its program offerings
  to provide more training and support in Idaho.
  This means anyone who enrols in the program to
  become a certified teacher on or after September
  1, 2017 must complete a clinical experience, once
  s/he has successfully passed the American Boards
  Professional Teaching Knowledge (PTK) exam and
  subject area exam.
• A clinical experience is a year-long program
  where new teachers are monitored and evaluated to
  provide feedback on their teaching skills and
  style while helping them adjust to leading the
  classroom. A clinical experience requires the
  individual to be the teacher of record. This
  program is not an unpaid internship, student
  teaching job, or substitute teaching job.
