Licensure Programs Indiana License Types and Coverage Indiana License Types and CoverageStudents are admitted under recently adopted rules established by the Office of Educator Licensing and Development (the agency that governs teacher education in the state of Indiana). These rules are referred to as Rules 2002. Each license issued under Rules 2002 will include school setting(s) or levels that a person may teach and the content field(s) or subjects that the individual may teach. Each license must include at least one school setting and one content field. The B or I after an entry indicates the campus where the program is offered. As a general rule, students working toward licensure must earn at least half of their credits at Bloomington or Indianapolis. Certification Students Applying for a Master’s DegreeStudents in certification programs who wish to seek a master’s degree must go through the standard process for admission to graduate study. Furthermore, in order to be accepted into any of the School of Education’s specialization areas in which a master’s degree may be earned, students must be admitted to a master’s degree program in one of these specialization areas in the semester prior to the semester in which they intend to graduate and they must be officially registered in the semester in which they graduate. Credit hours earned by a certification student who has been admitted to a master’s degree program may or may not be counted in the student’s master’s program. The department chair or program head and the associate dean of graduate studies must approve the inclusion of courses taken while the student was earning credits toward certification but was not admitted to a master’s degree program. Furthermore, a certification student, who has been admitted to a master’s degree program, may use a maximum of 15 credits taken while the student was working on certification but was not admitted to the master’s degree program.

Information about the new state licensing framework and standards for educational professionals may be found on the website of the Indiana Department of Education Division of Professional Standards. Return to Teaching Licenses (B-I) Admission to Licensure ProgramsApplicants to licensure programs must complete the graduate degree or licensure application. Students who are currently in a graduate degree program, or who are applying for admission to one are not required to submit a separate application for admission. Students already in a graduate program inside or outside the School of Education will need to submit a paper application for the Transition to Teaching program. See the chapter titled “Admission to Graduate Programs” for application procedures and criteria. Students pursuing both licensure and master’s degrees will be advised by both the graduate licensure advisor and the assigned faculty advisor of the master’s degree program. Return to Teaching Licenses (B-I) Initial, Proficient Practitioner, and Accomplished Practitioner LicensesThese licenses became available for candidates completing newly designed standards-based, performance-focused programs beginning July 1, 2003. There is an ongoing and gradual phase-in of new license rules. All licenses issued as of July 1, 2006, must be issued using the new license rules. Return to Teaching Licenses (B-I) Applying for a LicenseUpon completion of all degree and course requirements, state-mandated testing as required, a state criminal history check, CPR-Heimlich Maneuver certification, and other application procedures, candidates submit their application materials to a license advisor on either the IUB or IUPUI campus. On the Bloomington campus, information and materials are available in Education 1000, (812) 856-8511. On the Indianapolis campus, materials are available in Room 3131 of the Education/Social Work Building, (317) 274-0645. The completed application packet must be returned to the campus where you completed your academic program. Return to Teaching Licenses (B-I) Preparation Programs for Initial Teaching LicenseBloomington: Indianapolis: Transition-to-Teaching Programs Transition-to-Teaching ProgramsTransition-to-teaching programs offer those who have previously earned a baccalaureate degree an efficient and effective preparation for the K-12 teaching profession. Students take course work at the graduate level to obtain certification or they may opt to pursue the licensure program as part of a master’s program. The programs are full-time, field-intensive, cohort- and performance-based, with mentor teachers supervising candidates while working closely with university faculty to insure an integrated curriculum. Elementary ProgramsSecondary Programs The elementary program is a 24 credit hour certification program (including 6 credit hours of reading courses) with additional fees charged for all fieldwork and related seminars. Participants will engage in field experiences all three semesters. Indiana law requires elementary applicants to have one of the following (a or b):
ELEMENTARY TRANSITION-TO-TEACHING PROGRAM (24 cr.) (BLOOMINGTON PROGRAM) E543 Advanced Study in the Teaching of Mathematics (3 cr.) Note: The Elementary Transition to Teaching plus master’s degree program admits students whose bachelor’s degrees are not in education and who wish to be trained as elementary school teachers and earn a master’s degree. For information about this program, see the section in this bulletin on master’s programs in elementary education. ELEMENTARY TRANSITION-TO-TEACHING PROGRAM (24 cr.) (INDIANAPOLIS PROGRAM) Transition-to-Teaching Programs at Indianapolis admit students whose bachelor’s degrees are in fields other than education and who wish to be prepared as teachers. Students take course work at the graduate level to obtain certification and may opt at the completion of the program to use some of the credit hours toward a master’s degree. Unit 1: Early Childhood—(two full days + half-day per week )—Fall Unit 2: Middle Childhood—(two full days + half-day per week)—Spring Unit 3: Individualizing Instruction—Summer 1 Unit 4: Reflective Practitioner—Fall Return to Elementary and Secondary Transition-to-Teaching Programs The secondary programs are full-time, 18 credit hour, year-long field-based programs intended to develop and support reflective teaching, promote thoughtful and innovative practices in secondary schools, and make optimal use of the professional resources that currently exist in schools, the community, and the university. The programs are designed for students who have earned a baccalaureate degree in a content discipline and who are interested in becoming secondary teachers of that discipline. In most cases, full-time students will earn their secondary teaching certificate after one calendar year of course work and accompanying field experiences. Licensure areas within the secondary transition-to-teaching program will include science education, mathematics education, social studies education, English education, and foreign language education. Indiana law requires secondary applicants to have one of the following (a, b, or c):
SECONDARY TRANSITION-TO-TEACHING PROGRAM (18 cr.) (BLOOMINGTON) F500 Student Teaching: Secondary (1-3 cr.) Choose one course: SECONDARY TRANSITION-TO-TEACHING PROGRAM (18 cr.)

Professional knowledge may be gained by either the Secondary Graduate Certification Program or the Community of Teachers Program (below). These may be completed on a part-time basis. Return to Graduate Certification and Community of Teachers ProgramsSECONDARY COMMUNITY OF TEACHERS PROGRAM (BLOOMINGTON) A highly individualized way to earn a secondary teaching license, Community of Teachers (CoT) centers on an ongoing seminar that features intensive, hands-on work in one school. Students complete the program not by earning course credits but by completing a portfolio of evidence of their ability as teachers. The central requirement of the program is an ongoing seminar (EDUC S500, 3 cr.) that is led from one semester to the next by the same faculty member. Each seminar group contains students from different majors and includes both beginning students and student teachers. Each semester the seminar’s focus is determined by the students and their professor; and under the umbrella of the seminar each student organizes and carries out an individualized program of preparation. Two semesters of S500 are minimum. CoT students spend one day a week in a school of their choice, each working with a teacher of their choice who has consented to be their mentor. The relationship continues throughout the students’ professional preparations, including student teaching (EDUC M550, 10 cr.). The activities of the apprenticeship are guided by a list of 30 program expectations that students satisfy by building evidence of their teaching capabilities. The evidence is organized in a portfolio that supports the case students must make to the faculty of their readiness to enter the profession. Two additional courses are required to complete the program: L517 Advanced Study of Content Reading and Literacy (3 cr.) SECONDARY GRADUATE TEACHER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (37 cr.) M501 Field Experience (1 cr.) and Subject/Content/Major The subject, major, or content knowledge is gained by completing the requirements of subject areas as listed in the undergraduate bulletin, with the substitution of graduate courses as possible. Subject areas are in health; journalism; language arts (English); mathematics; science (biology, chemistry, earth-space, physics); social studies (history, government, geography, economics, sociology, and psychology); theatre; and world languages (Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Russian, and Spanish). Some programs may be completed as additions to another subject. Contact Jeane Novotny at jnovotny [at] indiana [dot] edu; (812) 856-8584 or graduate certification advisor. A secondary education program which is somewhat different, Exceptional Needs: Mild Interventions at the graduate level, is listed below.

Student teaching is required to be completed at the secondary level, although under special arrangements students can do student teaching at both elementary and secondary levels. This certification program prepares teachers to teach visual arts from kindergarten through high school levels in a variety of in-school and out-of-school settings. A bachelor’s degree with a 2.75 cumulative grade point average and in the visual arts area is considered minimal for entrance into the certification program. In addition, a student may seek a master’s degree in art education while pursuing certification. Specific requirements for both the master’s degree and certification must be met, and students are required to work with both a faculty advisor for art education and a certification advisor. Graduate certification students should take most of their courses at the graduate level if they wish to receive graduate credit toward a master’s degree. Note: 15 credits is usually the maximum number of credits that can be earned as a certification-only student and still be used toward a master’s degree. Students should apply for the master’s degree before earning more than 15 credits in order to use further certification credits toward a master’s degree. The certification requires courses in two categories: Professional Education and Content. Professional Education Computer Literacy (3 cr.) Educational Psychology (3 cr.) Foundations (3 cr.) Exceptional Needs (3 cr.) Introduction to Art Education (4 cr.) Art Methods I-II (8 cr.) Reading and Literacy (3 cr.) Student Teaching (10 cr.)
