IASI School Recognition StandardsMinimum School Training Requirements | Faculty Criteria | Education Lineage Letters of Reference | Conditional/Provisional Recognition Before submitting your School Recognition Application, please review the following requirements below. Minimum School Training RequirementsAll of the following requirements must be submitted to IASI in written documentation. Your application will be considered complete and ready for review when all documentation has been received. A checklist has been provided to assist you in completing these documents.
As well, the applicant school must provide a written policy stating that students must present transcripts demonstrating the required hours in these prerequisites and that they are completed before admission to the school. The applicant school should, as policy, maintain a copy of these transcripts in the student records. Copies of applicant transcripts must be provided to IASI if requested. Faculty Criteria1. Primary SI faculty, which does not include assistants, need to have at least 7 years experience sometime in their career as a full-time SI practitioner. In addition, primary faculty shall have completed either:
It is the preference that primary faculty shall have completed both of these requirements. Acceptable documentation:
The CE certificate or letter must indicate the date, subject, instructor, and the number of classroom hours completed. Statements from applying faculty that state CE classes attended will not meet this requirement. 2. Primary SI faculty must have previous experience teaching before becoming a primary instructor. This teaching experience may be in any type of school, whether bodywork or academic. Experience as an assistant SI faculty or in a teacher training track program is also sufficient. Acceptable documentation:
All documentation must include classes, locations, dates, and subjects taught. 3. Primary SI faculty must provide documentation that they have met and continue to maintain the current CE requirements for IASI members with the designation of Professional Structural Integrator. IASI does not currently require primary SI faculty to hold the Board Certified Structural Integrator (BCSI) designation, but they must meet the IASI CE requirements. It is preferred that primary SI faculty hold the BCSI designation or obtain this designation within one year of recognition by IASI. Education LineageAll primary SI faculty must demonstrate education lineage to the teachings of Dr. Ida P. Rolf. Acceptable documentation: A transcript provided from a recognized IASI school, or in the case of mentored training, a written statement from the mentor that clearly documents that both the mentor and the applicant meet the requirements in Sections I and II above. Letters of ReferencePrimary SI faculty applicants must provide three personal references (written letters and the writer’s contact information) from individuals who have known the applicant for a minimum of one year. At least one of the references must be from a current or former SI teaching faculty, one reference must be from an IASI Professional Structural Integrator, and one may come from an SI practitioner who may or may not be an IASI member. Applicants should be aware that the application committee reserves the right to request additional references and that negative references may result in the application’s rejection. Conditional/Provisional RecognitionApplicants for IASI school recognition should be aware that the application committee and the IASI Board of Directors may give conditional/provisional recognition depending on the applicant school meeting specific individual requirements that the Board may feel is necessary to assure the applicant school continues to meet the minimum requirements. All IASI recognized schools must agree to abide by the SI primary faculty requirements when adding new primary faculty. As well, once recognized, schools must agree to inform the IASI of changes to its program curriculum and faculty members. Additionally, IASI recognized schools will be required to confirm, on a yearly basis, that no substantive changes to the program have been made.
