Educator Preparation Coordinating Council
The Educator Preparation Coordinating Council (EPCC) is the policy-making body for the Iowa State University Educator Preparation Program. The EPCC consists of faculty coordinators and professional staff representing each undergraduate and graduate licensure area.
EPCC includes the selection and retention subcommittee.
There is also an external advisory committee, representative of the major stakeholders of the ISU program, which will act in concert with the EPCC to raise issues and address strategies for resolution. The EPCC will meet approximately once each month during the academic year.
