Assessment in the Teacher Education Program
Students recommended for a teaching license by IUPUI will be expected to demonstrate the knowledge, disposition, and skills expected of beginning teachers. It is IUPUI's responsibility to ensure that students recommended for an initial license have met all relevant standards set by the Indiana Department of Education Division and the national professional organizations.
Students will be required to complete Benchmark assessments as they move through the program. Failure to complete a Benchmark may result in removal from the program. Students whose Benchmarks support that they do not have adequate skills, knowledge and/or dispositions may be required to do a follow-up to the benchmark. Benchmark evaluations will also be considered when determining if students removed from the program will be readmitted.
