Teacher Education Program Requirements and Milestones

Newly admitted Teacher Education students are, upon first enrollment, assigned to a dedicated, multi-year Teacher Education Program Requirements and Milestones course (via Brightspace) defined by Catalog Year (Cohort) and Major.

This course specifies Teacher Education Program and licensure expectations, timelines, and milestone decision points. Milestone outcomes are defined and results are linked to Plans of Study. Resources, interventions, and supports are provided to ensure continuous progress, milestone attainment, program completion, and licensure.

Undergraduate Licensure Programs

In addition to earning your bachelor’s degree, graduates who want to teach in Indiana must also be licensed. Specific Teacher Education Program Requirements and Milestones are determined by students’ catalog year and major. The College of Education’s Office of Teacher Education and Licensure (OTEL) exists to help you navigate this process.
