Under the Indiana license rules, candidates cannot get a recommendation for a teaching license by simply passing required classes. Candidates must be able to demonstrate that they know and are able to do the things that are specified in the standards. This requires that performance assessments be carried out during the professional education program. As you move through your program, a number of different kinds of performance assessments will take place to assess your knowledge, your performance, and your dispositions for being a professional teacher. The following is an overview of the general requirements on which you will be assessed.

Academic Performance

Certain grade point averages (GPA) will be required for your overall performance in your college courses and in your major content area courses. Some courses will require a specific grade (usually C or better) in order to advance in the program.
