Professional Education — A Community of Teachers
A highly individualized way to earn a secondary teaching license, A 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 Seminar
The central requirement of the program is an ongoing seminar (EDUC S400) 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. The seminar replaces five of the professional education courses of the standard program: EDUC W200, EDUC P255, EDUC H340, EDUC M300, and EDUC M314, as well as all fieldwork courses associated with them (EDUC M201, EDUC M301, EDUC M401, and EDUC M403). However, comple tion of any of these courses still counts as progress toward the completion of the CoT program.
The Apprenticeship
CoT students spend one day a week in a school of their choice, working with a teacher of their choice who has consented to be their mentor. The relationship continues throughout students’ professional preparations, including student teaching.
The Portfolio
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.
Requirements (24-44 credit hours)
EDUC S400 Field-Based Seminar in Teacher Education (4 cr., repeatable)
Students take S400 each semester that they are in the program. The minimum tenure in S400 is two semesters (8 cr.), but five semesters (20 cr.) is more typical. The CoT requirements for admission to teacher education are identical to those of the standard program, except that students need to complete only one semester of S400 to apply.
Special Methods Course (3-4 credit hours)
(To be completed in the major area)
EDUC M441 Methods of Teaching Social Studies (3 cr.)
EDUC M445 Methods of Teaching Foreign Languages (4 cr.)
EDUC M446 Methods of Teaching Senior High/Junior High/Middle School Science (4 cr.)
EDUC M450 Methods of Teaching High School Journalism (3 cr.)
EDUC M452 Methods of Teaching Senior High/Junior High/Middle School English (3 cr.)
EDUC M456 Methods of Teaching Physical Education (3 cr.)

EDUC M458 Methods of Teaching Health and Safety (3 cr.)
EDUC M463 Methods in Speech and Hearing Therapy (3 cr.)
EDUC M478 Methods of Teaching High School Speech and Theatre (4 cr.)
EDUC M464 Methods of Teaching Reading (3 cr.)
EDUC M480 Student Teaching: Secondary School (10-16 cr. )
Electives and other area requirements to reach 124 credit hours.
Students must satisfy the portfolio requirement to earn their teaching licenses. Students who already hold bachelors’ degrees may also complete their license requirements through CoT.
Admittance to CoT is by application and interview. For more information, contact Tom Gregory, Education 3206, 856-8144; Internet: GREGORY@Indiana.edu; or visit the CoT web site: http://education.indiana.edu/~comteach/.
Subject Matter Specialty Studies — Standard Program and A Community of Teachers (majors)
Credit hour requirements for majors are listed below. To be licensed, a student must have at least one major area.
The specific requirements in the various subject matter majors are given in detail below. A student may be exempted from a part of the required subject matter courses if such courses have been successfully completed on the high school level or its educational equivalent. In this case the student should substitute electives or an equivalent number of credit hours in the subject matter area.
Credit earned in general education may be used where applicable to meet the course requirements in any subject matter area.
Changes are pending in the English program. See an advisor for details.
