Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis ProgramsSchool Codes School CodesIn this section, courses from different schools and departments of Indiana University are listed and coded with three- and four-letter codes that indicate the originating department. Full descriptions of courses not offered in the School of Education can be found in the bulletins for the schools and departments listed. A guide to the codes is as follows:
Program OptionsThis bulletin states only the undergraduate requirements for initial teacher certification and for the Bachelor of Science in Education degree. Students interested in graduate work in education should consult the Bulletin of the School of Education Graduate Program. The School of Education offers the following undergraduate programs under current guidelines of the Indiana Professional Standards Board: Undergraduate Education Programs Undergraduate Education ProgramsBachelor of Science in Education EnglishAll-Grade Education Art (Herron School of Art)Dual Licensure Programs Adaptive Physical Education (only available with Physical Education program)Certification Programs CoachingStudents must meet requirements for graduation and certification, as stated in the Bulletin of the School of Education Undergraduate Program current at the time of initial enrollment or as set forth in any subsequent bulletin. Students may not choose to meet requirements as stated in the bulletin for any year prior to enrollment. Neither may students elect to meet requirements from a combination of bulletins or a combination of programs from other IU campuses. Requirements from a single bulletin must be met for each of the program components. Postbaccalaureate Certification Options In general, undergraduate programs in education comprise several distinct components:
General Education Students are encouraged to complete a program of general education by enrolling in course clusters or learning communities designated for education majors whenever they are available. In particular, students are urged to follow the general education template for the first 30 credit hours of their program. The sequence has been planned to provide a strong foundation and to build the connections among the contents of the individual courses. Professional Education Teaching Area Student Teaching The two 8-credit hour experiences for student teaching comprise the culminating experience in the LT/TL program. By assuming full responsibility for a class of students, candidates demonstrate their achievement of standards, and reflect both on student learning and on their own effectiveness as teachers. Indiana License Types and CoverageThe educator preparation programs at both the graduate and undergraduate levels at Indianapolis were developed to meet the license framework adopted by the Indiana Professional Standards Board (IPSB) in 1999. The new framework establishes requirements, not in terms of courses to be taken, but rather in terms of the standards that program graduates are expected to meet. The license framework addresses the principles set forth by the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) and includes both content standards for different subjects/teaching areas and developmental standards associated with particular educational settings (early childhood, elementary, middle school, high school). Licensure ProgramsElementary License Elementary/Middle School License (Starting fall 2003) The Middle School/High School Content Area License K-12 License Dual Licensure ProgramsStudents may complete any of the following dual programs in conjunction with one of the licensure programs listed above. The developmental standards and school setting of the license will be the same as the partner license. Adaptive Physical Education Computer Education Dual License English as a New Language (ENL) Dual License Exceptional Needs Dual License Health Dual License Reading Dual License The School of Education at Indianapolis also offers programs at the graduate level that lead to the following licenses: School Services (Counselor)
Bachelor of Science: Elementary and Elementary/Middle School MajorsGeneral Education General EducationCourses that build the general education foundation for elementary education majors are listed below; they are organized by the Principles of Undergraduate Learning to which they are most directly related. Students are encouraged to follow this template. Both the particular sequence and the course clusters or learning communities designated for education majors have been planned to provide the strongest foundation and to build the most powerful connections among the contents of the individual courses.

# These courses may have prerequisites Return to Bachelor of Science: Elementary and Teacher Education ProgramAdmission to the Learning to Teach/Teaching to Learn program is competitive. Applications are due February 7 for fall admission and October 10 for spring. The application can be found at www.education.iupui.edu. The professional education component is a carefully articulated program of study where courses are taken in blocks and in a prescribed order (presented below). The professional education portion of the program is designed to be a four-semester sequence with courses that are taught on site at professional development schools (PDS) in Marion County. These schools have entered into a special partnership with the School of Education. Students also student teach at these PDS sites. Student teaching requires five days a week. Students pursuing an initial license to teach in grades K-6 are authorized for professional education courses only after admission to the Teacher Education Program. Because LT/TL is a field-based program in which formal class sessions are integrated with field experiences, most professional education courses are offered at a time when teacher education candidates are able to work with students in K-12 classrooms. Most professional education courses are scheduled during the day, and students will need to make arrangements to devote one (part-time enrollment) or two days (full-time enrollment) each week to complete the class and field experience work. Students pursuing the elementary/middle school license also will complete additional content area courses in two areas. They may select from mathematics, social studies, language arts, and science. The School of Education uses performance-based assessments to evaluate students' readiness for an Initial Professional Educator License. In addition to their course assignments, students are expected to pass three benchmark assessments during the LT/TL program. Benchmark I is a rubric that evaluates students' basic competencies and dispositions; Benchmark II is a performance task that involves interviewing individual learners; and Benchmark III is a demonstration of students' teaching abilities. These measures and others, including content area PRAXIS tests and student teaching evaluations, are used to determine whether a student will be recommended for licensure upon completion of the program.
* Benchmark I Rubrics at the end of Block I Block II (both programs) A: Middle Childhood A (7 cr.) B: Middle Childhood B (7 cr.) *Benchmark II performance assessment at the end of Block II Block III (both programs) A: Individualizing Instruction (7 cr.) B: Reflective Practitioner (8 cr.) *Benchmark III Portfolio at the end of Block III Block IV (both programs: IV B is different) A: Curriculum in a Democracy (7 cr.)
*Students doing a dual licensure program will register for a 4 credit hour practicum for the dual program and 4 hours of traditional student teaching. Return to Bachelor of Science: Elementary and Student Teaching (Elementary and Elementary/Middle School)All interns complete student teaching assignments in two school settings. For elementary education majors, student teaching will comprise two 8-week placements, the first in Block IIIB and the second in Block IVB. Elementary majors will complete one primary placement and one intermediate placement. Elementary/middle school majors will complete one elementary placement and one middle school placement. In the elementary/middle school program, the student teaching requirement will be met by 8-week placements in an elementary and middle school settings during Blocks III and IV. Eligibility Requirements for Student Teaching
All students must file an application for student teaching. This is done during the fall semester of the academic year preceding the year in which the student teaching is to be done. (For example: students apply in fall 2002 for student teaching assignments in either fall 2003 or spring 2004.) The Office of Student Teaching makes arrangements for placement and supervision. Assessment during Student Teaching (Benchmark III) The mentor teachers and university supervisors conduct formal observations of interns. Return to Bachelor of Science: Elementary and
Bachelor of Science: Middle School/High SchoolEach discipline in the secondary program (English, foreign language, mathematics, science, and social studies) requires a unique and highly prescribed program of studies. Students should get the most current program of studies and help with course selection from School of Education advisors. Courses in these programs of study fall into three categories: the common core curriculum, the discipline-based preparation program, and the teacher education program. In all areas of these programs, the courses are carefully selected to prepare students to meet the rigorous content and teaching standards required for a middle school and high school teaching license in the discipline. Common Core Curriculum Common Core Curriculum (45-51 credits)This part of the curriculum includes courses drawn from the common general education core approved by the faculties of both the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Science and is based on the IUPUI Principles of Undergraduate Learning. Students take:
Discipline-Based Preparation Program (36-51 credits)Each discipline has a specific program for the preparation of teachers. In some departments, such as Mathematics and Science, students complete discipline-based majors and minors like chemistry and physics. In other departments, such as English, Foreign Language, and Social Studies, students take courses that provide them with a broad spectrum of knowledge across sub-disciplines, such as literature and writing; or history, geography, and economics. All courses in this category must be completed with a grade of C (2.0) or higher. Requirements in all the secondary programs are currently under review in light of new license frameworks and standards. The lists that are provided here are subject to change as new courses are developed and gaps in the curriculum are addressed.
