Students 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
It is also possible for students who hold baccalaureate or graduate degrees to pursue undergraduate teacher certification through the School of Education. Contact Education Student Services for further information.

In general, undergraduate programs in education comprise several distinct components:

  1. A program of general education,
  2. A professional education component, and
  3. Student teaching or other supervised practicum experience.
For secondary education majors or those pursuing a license to teach at the secondary level, preparation in the teaching area or an academic major constitutes a fourth distinct program component. Each component is briefly described below; additional detail is provided later in the bulletin.

General Education
General education refers to courses and other experiences that lay the foundation for IUPUI (IU-Indianapolis) students to evidence progress toward the IUPUI "Principles of Undergraduate Learning." There is a focus on building skills in written and oral communication, information technology, inquiry, science, literature, quantitative reasoning, and both global and democratic perspectives.

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
The professional education component of "Learning to Teach/Teaching to Learn" develops the knowledge, disposition, and skills required in the profession. Some courses address these areas with a general approach, while other courses and field experience focus on what it takes to promote effective teaching and learning at a particular developmental level or in a particular school setting. At IUPUI (IU-Indianapolis), the professional education component is not a collection of isolated courses but rather a carefully articulated program of study. Courses are taken in blocks and in a prescribed order, and ideally across four semesters.

Teaching Area
Candidates pursuing a secondary (middle school/high school) or K-12 license must meet the content standards for the disciplines or subject areas they intend to teach. Typically, this is done by completing 36-51 credit hours in a content area with appropriate supporting areas. Since elementary majors are generalists, they are required to take courses in many disciplines. In addition, their general education component includes a requirement for an academic concentration in a selected area of study. The concentration is intended to be responsive to the interests and talents of individual students and to the public expectation that all teachers will have some area of particular expertise. Course lists for concentrations are available from Education Student Services.

Student Teaching
At IUPUI (IU-Indianapolis), all students are prepared to teach at two developmental levels and can expect to complete two separate student teaching assignments.

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 Coverage

The 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).

Teacher Education Program

Admission 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.

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
To be eligible for student teaching, an intern must have:

  1. Been admitted to the Teacher Education Program
  2. Submitted an application for student teaching before the end of the fall semester of the academic year preceding the year of the desired experience
  3. Achieved passing scores on the Benchmark I Rubric and Benchmark II performance task with no outstanding issues
  4. Achieved senior or graduate standing in the university or be within two semesters and one summer session of graduation. (In no case should a student have competed fewer than 84 credit hours prior to the semester in which the student teaching and/or practicum is to be done)
  5. Completed all professional education and education technology courses within ten years and attained a minimum GPA of 2.5 in all professional education courses with a minimum grade of C in each professional education course
  6. Earned a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 at Indiana University
Application 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)
A student teaching portfolio submitted at the end of the first student teaching assignment is a key element of the performance assessment system. The requirements of the portfolio are outlined in the LT/TL Curriculum Assessment Handbook. If the student teaching portfolio submitted at the conclusion of the initial student teaching placement does not receive a passing score, the student will receive feedback and have the opportunity to revise and resubmit after the second student teaching placement.

The mentor teachers and university supervisors conduct formal observations of interns.

Bachelor of Science: Middle School/High School

Each 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.

Return to Bachelor of Science: Middle School/High School

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.

Science (51 credits)

Students pursuing licensure to teach biology, chemistry, earth science, or physics at the secondary level must first meet the requirements of the School of Science for a bachelor's degree in science and then complete the Transition to Teaching (T2T) program. The T2T program is a post-baccalaureate program and is in the pilot stages. More detailed information about the program can be found in the graduate bulletin.

The license framework adopted by the Indiana Professional Standards board in June 1999 represents a significant departure from earlier regulations. Rather than the traditional single discipline license in science, the new framework will license middle and high school teachers for the following areas. Students should complete courses in one or more of the following licensure areas:

Life Science/Chemistry
Physical Science—Chemistry
Physical Science—Physics
Earth/Space Science
Physics
Chemistry

About the Dual Licensure Program

Students who wish to be licensed in an additional area may take designated course work to earn a dual license. Dual licensure programs are only available to students obtaining their initial teaching license. The additional content area will be applicable to the developmental levels of the initial license. Programs are available at the graduate level for licensed teachers who seek to add other certification areas to their licenses.

Students apply to a dual program when completing the application to teacher education. However, some of the course work for certain programs may be completed prior to entering the teacher education program. See an advisor in the School of Education for details. A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required for each dual licensure area.

Students will student teach in their dual licensure area during the second student teaching experience. They will register for the appropriate 4 credit hour practicum and 4 additional credit hours of the traditional student teaching for their initial program. The all-grade requirements are currently under development. See an advisor in the School of Education for information.
