ISU’s College of Education has elected to use Tk20 CampusTools™ as a comprehensive online data management system for all student activities related to teacher, administrator, or school personnel licensure. Students enrolled in licensure programs are required to subscribe to Tk20 to complete course assignments and to facilitate evaluations for courses, field experiences, student teaching and administrative internships.
The system enables students to participate and manage their academic activities throughout their college experience. This system allows students to:
Create and submit key assignments online.
Facilitate collaborative evaluations online between instructors, field mentors and students.
Create electronic portfolios documenting course work.
Keep records of field experience work and experience with student teaching/clinical practice(field assignments, field experience, student teaching, clinical practice and internships).
Submit forms online, including applications for student teaching and other field experiences for teacher certification.
The system will also facilitate survey collection, academic advising, and assessment of the unit in order to improve our programs
