Degree Tracks and Program Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Education—Elementary Education and Elementary/Middle School Majors

The elementary education program prepares graduates to meet standards for teaching in K-6 settings while the elementary/middle school program prepares graduates for teacing in grades 3–8 settings.

GENERAL EDUCATION (68 credit hours)

Students in the elementary education program complete the general education requirements outlined above in the sample program of study. Students are encouraged to enroll in course clusters or learning communities designated for education majors whenever they are available.

Students are encouraged to see an education advisor for course lists for the “concentration” and to begin planning early to meet that requirement.

PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION (42 credit hours)

Admission to the Learning to Teach/Teaching to Learn program is competitive, and 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 Teacher Education. 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 areas 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 the students’ basic competencies and dispositions; Benchmark II is a performance task that involves interviewing individual learners; and Benchmark III is a demonstration of the 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 (16 credit hours)

All interns complete student teaching assignments in two school settings. For elementary education majors, student teaching will comprise two eight-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 eight-week placements in an elementary and middle school settings during Blocks III and IV.

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/LT 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 in Education with Middle School/High School Teaching License

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.

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 based on the IUPUI Principles of Undergraduate Learning. Students take:

UCOL First Year Experience Course in their discipline (1-3 credits)
ENG 131 (3 credits)
ENG 132 or an equivalent (3 credits)
COMM R100 (3 credits)
EDUC W201 or an equivalent (1 credit)
EDUC H341 (3 credits) (Science majors do not take this)
6 credits of Quantitative and Analytical Skills
9 credits of Natural Science
15 credits Humanities, Social Science and Comparative World Cultures

DISCIPLINE-BASED PREPARATION PROGRAM (36-51 credits)

Each discipline has a specific program for the preparation of teachers. In some departments, like Mathematics and Science, students complete discipline-based majors and minors like chemistry and physics. In other departments, like English, Foreign Language, and Social Studies, students take courses that provide them with a broad spectrum of knowledge across sub-disciplines like literature and writing or history, geography, and economics. All courses in this category must be completed with a 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.
