Curriculum

Curriculum

Students in our program will start with the self-paced Foundations Module, in which teachers learn the basics of lesson planning, classroom management, developmental theory, and assessment. Following completion of the Foundations Module, students can choose to continue with one of the discipline-specific modules to learn how to teach their content in a more effective manner. Modules are self-paced and range in length from 6 – 15 hours.  The training provides real, relevant, bite-sized, and actionable vocabulary and information for immediate implementation. 

Program Highlights

According to a 2016 report from the Indiana Commission of Higher Education, 8.5 percent of Indiana educators leave the field for reasons other than retirement (third highest in the nation). The high attrition of educators, coupled with an insufficient pipeline of teacher candidates from bachelor’s degree programs, has led to drastic increases in alternative teaching credentials and emergency permits.

In the 2020–2021 school year in Indiana, there were 4,474 emergency permits, 419 transition to teaching permits, 11,731 substitute teacher permits, and 1,251 adjunct teacher licenses. The Teacher-Led, Teacher Ed program, offered by Butler University’s College of Education and Executive Education, is designed to support new teachers, alternatively credentialed, emergency-permitted, or long-term substitute teachers with the training they need to succeed in the classroom.
