Educator Preparation Coordinating Council (EPCC)
Charge
The Iowa State University Educator Preparation Program is a unit that consists of 16 programs that span three colleges: the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Human Sciences, and the College of Liberal Arts. Programs in the College of Human Sciences are located both within and outside of the School of Education. The 16 programs offer two educational leadership endorsements and over 46 teaching endorsements, including 17 primary endorsements.
The Educator Preparation Program is the responsibility of the Educator Preparation Coordinating Council (EPCC). The EPCC is a university-wide council chaired by the Director of Educator Preparation. The EPCC is the sole policy-making and operations body for educator preparation and responsible for all program components: admission, continuation/retention, recommendation for licensure, compliance, appeals, curriculum (in conjunction with the offering department/program) and the conceptual framework that informs the preparation of our future educator leaders.
Prior to 2011, the EPCC was named the University Teacher Education Coordinating Council (UTECC).
