About the Cecilia J. Lauby Teacher Education Center

The Cecilia J. Lauby Teacher Education Center was founded in 2004 and was named after a beloved director of clinical experiences, Cecilia J. Lauby. The Lauby Center brought together a number of departments into one location to better serve students as they progress through teacher education.

All of the work in the Lauby Teacher Education Center is guided by the Council for Teacher Education (CTE), which operates as the governing and policy-making board of university-wide teacher education. CTE, one of the nation's most active governing bodies, meets every two weeks, reviews data and operations, and initiates policy changes.

Clinical Experience and Certification Processes

The largest department in the Lauby Center is Clinical Experiences and Certification Processes (CECP). CECP is responsible for the clinical component of teacher education at Illinois State University. CECP places students in traditional student teaching sites, professional development schools (PDS) and non-traditional student teaching experiences. In addition, CECP works with programs to facilitate pre-student teaching clinical experiences. CECP is also responsible for facilitating the diversity requirement for all candidates (all teacher education candidates must have a minimum of 50 hours in diverse settings).

In addition to clinical experiences, CECP monitors the Performance Based Assessment (PBA) or Teacher Education Requirements system to ensure that all students have the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to become effective teachers. CECP personnel collect and disseminate PBA data to programs across campus. In addition, CECP reports data and other information to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) for accreditation purposes.
