The
Kentucky Teacher Internship Program (KTIP) was initiated in 1985 by the
Kentucky General Assembly as an instrument for guiding and assessing
first year teachers. This legislation was the beginning of major teacher
certification reform, and was further strengthened with the passage of
the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) in 1990. As a result, the
Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB), was
established as the state's governing body for teacher certification.
KTIP is designed to help beginning teachers (interns) experience a
successful first year in the classroom. KTIP provides each teacher with
the assistance of a three-member committee trained in the supervision
and assessment of beginning teachers. By observing and mentoring the
intern, the KTIP committee supports effective teaching practice and
guides the intern's professional growth.
KTIP training prepares participants to serve on teacher intern
committees. All principals, teachers, instructional supervisors, teacher
educators and University faculty who plan to serve on KTIP committees
must complete a homework assignment and a one-day training session prior
to committee assignment. For more information go
