"He understands the concept of business education and how that fits under the umbrella of the university," Jacobsen said.
The Idaho Business Education Association provides new ideas for business-education teachers. It has workshops to teach technology, methodology and workplace skills, said Rankin.
Rankin has served at ISU for 26 years. He is head of the undergraduate-business education program, coordinator of field experiences in the College of Education, and co-advisor with Jacobsen for the ISU chapter of Business Professionals of America.
He also teaches methodology and technology classes to prepare students to become business-education teachers. He says he is “teaching teachers to be teachers.”
The best thing about his job, Rankin said, is “seeing students go out and be successful teachers and knowing I had a part in doing that.”
