Initial Licensure
The State of Indiana is currently experiencing a shortage of qualified elementary and secondary school teachers and the shortage is only expected to increase as more baby boomers reach retirement age. The Career Builders for Educators (CBE) program contains all the courses you will need to become a licensed teacher in Indiana with the potential to transfer your license to 40 other states through reciprocal agreements.
Who better to educate students on a subject than an adult with the knowledge and life experience in the subject he or she is teaching? You know your subject matter. You've studied it. You've lived it. The basic premise behind this program is that adults with a baccalaureate degree and work experience in a particular field possess sufficient knowledge on the subject they want to teach. Therefore, the CBE program contains no courses where content knowledge on a subject will be taught, by rather, IWU's Career Builders for Educators program will equip you with effective teaching strategies, principles and methods to pass on what you know to your future students.
We believe that individuals such as you, educated adults with life and working experience, make excellent teachers. IWU is pleased to offer you the courses and teaching experience that not only satisfy the State of Indiana's licensure requirements, but also equip you with the teaching theory and techniques to be a world changing teacher.
