Mission

The purposes of the programs in the School of Education are:

  • To prepare students to serve as effective teachers and members of related professions, and
  • To assist students in meeting Indiana certification requirements for public school personnel.
School of Education faculty members maintain high standards for students of education. The successful teacher, counselor, or administrator must master both a body of knowledge and effective teaching skills. Teacher education programs offer a balance of broad liberal arts education and specialized knowledge in professional education and concentrated areas. Students choose from a variety of programs to fulfill their practical training requirements.

Accreditation

IUSB teacher and human services training programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Commission on Teacher Training and Licensing of the Indiana Professional Standards Board has approved all IUSB teacher education programs.

General Requirements and Programs

The School of Education, in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Education, has established certain academic requirements that must be met to earn a degree and/or certification.

The requirements vary according to the chosen field of study. Advisors, directors, and the dean assist students in planning a program of study to satisfy requirements, but each student assumes final responsibility for meeting all deadlines and completing all requirements for certification and graduation. It is, therefore, essential to be familiar with the certification requirements set forth in this Bulletin.

If a student in the secondary education program earns certification while enrolled in a degree-granting program in another academic unit of the university, both the requirements for graduation in the degree-granting academic unit and the requirements for certification in the School of Education must be satisfied.

To receive an undergraduate degree from the School of Education, one must be admitted to either the Early Childhood Associate Degree Program or the Teacher Education Program, meet all graduation requirements, and complete at least one full semester as a School of Education student.

Teacher Certification Programs

The School of Education provides the following degree programs, which lead to a recommendation for teacher certification. For details, please consult the proper sections, which follow. All programs and courses are subject to change and/or deletion pending final approval by the Indiana Professional Standards Board.

Associate of Science in Early Childhood Education

Information about courses, programs, requirements for degrees, and teaching licenses may be obtained from the Education Student Services Office.

Before receiving a teaching license, a student must not only complete the courses required for that license, but also must be recommended to the Division of Teacher Education and Certification of the Indiana Professional Standards Board by the School of Education, based on evidence presented concerning personal qualities, professional characteristics and competencies, general health, speech qualities, and scholastic attainment essential for success as a teacher.

The Indiana Professional Standards Board also requires that candidates successfully complete the National Teacher Examination—Specialty Test and PPST. Booklets concerning that examination are available in the Education Student Services Office.

Associate Degree Program

The early childhood education program is a two-year associate degree program developed for the purpose of preparing persons who wish to teach in nursery schools, day-care centers, and other preschool programs. Graduates may also be employed in children’s wards in hospitals, as kindergarten aides, or similar places.

The Associate of Science degree may be earned by four semesters of successful full-time academic work. Students attending classes on less than a full-time basis may expect the period to extend beyond two years. Prior to finishing this degree, students must complete a practicum. Students should apply for this practicum one full semester ahead of time by contacting the director of student teaching.

Admission to the Early Childhood Associate Degree Program

Students wishing to pursue the associate in early childhood education degree may be admitted into the School of Education providing they have met the formal admission requirements as stated in the section on Admission to IUSB in this Bulletin, and have completed 15 credit hours. Students from other academic units or institutions must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 prior to admission to the School of Education.

No one will be admitted to the School of Education associate degree program unless they have satisfied all remedial course work as indicated by placement examinations.

Bachelor’s Degree Programs

Students choosing to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Education degree, and who wish to certify to teach, should anticipate five separate formal application/admission steps:

  1. Admission to the School of Education as a pre-education major.
  2. Admission to the Teacher Education Program (TEP).
  3. Application for student teaching placement.
  4. Application for graduation.
  5. Application for a teaching license.
Each of these steps is described in the following pages.
 

1. Admission to the Division of Education as a Pre-Education Major

No one will be admitted to the School of Education unless they have satisfied all remedial course work as indicated by placement examinations. These include MATH M004 Introduction to Algebra, MATH M012 Preparation for Algebra, MATH M013 Beginning Algebra, MATH M014 Basic Algebra, ENG W031 Pre-Composition, EDUC X100 Practical Reading and Study for Self Improvement, and EDUC X101 Techniques in Textbook Reading.

  • Freshman Year: Students whose academic objective is to be admitted to one of the school’s teacher education programs and who have completed up to 26 credit hours of satisfactory credit on the college level with a minimum average of C (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) either at IUSB or elsewhere are eligible to apply for admission to the School of Education as a pre-education major. More stringent requirements must be met prior to admission to the specific teacher education programs, which include elementary education, secondary education, and special education.
  • From Other Schools within Indiana University as well as Other Educational Institutions: Students other than freshmen registered in any other academic unit of Indiana University or another educational institution may apply for permission to transfer to the School of Education provided they are in good standing, have a minimum average of C (2.0 on a 4.0 scale), and have made arrangements to complete the specific courses required by the School of Education prior to being admitted to the Teacher Education Program.
2.Admission to the Teacher Education Program

Application for admission to the Teacher Education Programs (TEP) is a process separate from, and in addition to, admission to the School of Education as a pre-education major. All professional advanced education courses are closed to students who have not been admitted to a Teacher Education Program or the Associate Degree in early childhood education.
Upon completion of all TEP admission requirements, students need to complete an application for admission into the TEP (available in the Education Student Services Office). Completed applications are to be turned in to the Education Student Services Office. All students will be required to attend a TEP induction seminar. A TEP card will be given to students at the seminar officially admitting them into TEP. This card must be presented to your instructors in the methods courses in order to take advanced methods courses. Without the TEP card, a student will not be allowed to enroll in an advanced methods course.

3.Application for Student Teaching Placement

Eligibility Requirements for Student Teaching:

Prior to beginning student teaching and practica, undergraduate and graduate certification students must:

  1. Be admitted to the Teacher Education Program.
  2. Complete all required courses for their specific degree program with grades posted on the transcript which meet the following standards:
    1. A minimum overall GPA of 2.5.
    2. A minimum GPA in professional education courses of 2.5 with no grade in these courses less than C (2.0).
  3. Meet the following requirements for specific program or major areas:
    1. Elementary education majors and elementary graduate certification students must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0 in each of the following general education areas: fine arts, language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. In addition, students must obtain a grade of C (2.0) in the following courses: EDUC K205 Introduction to Exceptional Children and EDUC W200 Microcomputers for Education: An Introduction.
    2. Secondary education and music education majors (senior high/junior high/middle school) and secondary graduate certification students must attain a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 in major or content courses with all grades in any major, minor, or primary or supporting area of at least a C (2.0).
    3. Special education majors and special education graduate certification students must attain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in the following general education areas: humanities, science, and social studies.
  4. Change all incompletes to grades meeting the above standards prior to beginning the student teaching experience.
  5. Complete all correspondence courses with grades meeting the above standards posted on the student’s transcript prior to beginning the student teaching experience. Correspondence courses should be completed by the last week of July if students have applied to student teach in the fall semester and by the last week in November if students have applied to student teach in the spring semester.
  6. Attend an informational session explaining eligibility requirements and the application process for student teaching and practica. Notification of these sessions will be posted in the School of Education in Greenlawn Hall. Students must watch for signs as they will not receive personal communication.
  7. Submit, after attending one of the informational sessions, a student teaching application along with a one page statement of educational philosophy and a one page statement elaborating on personal qualifications to the director of student teaching. This packet must be submitted by the end of the fall semester of the academic year prior to the student teaching semester. For example, students planning to student teach during the fall 2000 or spring 2001 semester must submit applications by the end of the fall 1999 semester. Late applications will be accepted on a case-by-case basis if accompanied by a letter of explanation; however, student teaching placements are not guaranteed for late applicants.
  8. Provide, along with the application, the names of two IUSB full-time faculty, one of whom is from the School of Education, who can be contacted for recommendations. Prior to requesting student teaching placements, a list of students applying to student teach will be circulated to the faculty for review.
  9. Attend a student teaching orientation session within the first two weeks of August for fall student teachers and within the first two weeks of December for spring student teachers. Students will be notified by letter of these scheduled sessions.
  10. Meet with academic advisors to be sure all course requirements will be completed prior to student teaching. If it is determined that a student has not met program requirements, the student may be removed at any time from the student teaching or practicum experience. A student teaching placement is not a guarantee that requirements have been met nor is the process of determining eligibility to be considered a substitute for meeting with an advisor. Students found ineligible for student teaching or practica because they did not meet the above criteria may appeal these decisions in writing directly to the dean of the School of Education.
  11. Students will be allowed to state preferences for student teaching placements, but the first priority is to place according to availability of qualified classroom supervising teachers. The following restrictions apply to student teaching placements. Students may not student teach at schools (and in some instances in school corporations):
    1. beyond a 20 mile radius of IUSB;
    2. where they have been employed; however, students may student teach where they have been substitute teachers;
    3. where they have been school board members or are related to a school board member;
    4. out of state, except in certain school districts in southern Michigan which have a contractual agreement with Indiana University;
    5. attended by their children or where a relative is employed. If a relative is employed in a central administrative position, students may not be allowed to student teach in the school corporation; and
    6. where they have attended school.
It is the student’s responsibility to complete forms accurately. If it is discovered that a student did not provide accurate information and has been placed in a school where one of the above limitations applies, the student may be removed from the student teaching assignment.

Students wishing to ask for exceptions to the above policies must appeal in writing directly to the dean of the School of Education.

During the semester prior to student teaching (by October 30 for students planning to student teach in the spring semester and by March 30 for those planning to student teach in the fall semester) students must reactivate their student teaching application by submitting a written recommendation from a full-time member of the IUSB education faculty. Once this written recommendation has been received and a placement has been found, the student will be notified of the student teaching assignment.

4. Application for Graduation

Students registering on the IUSB campus during the last term before completing the requirements for a degree in the School of Education must file an application for the degree at the Education Student Services Office. Students completing work for degrees in the School of Education in absentia must notify the dean of the School of Education at least two months prior to the time the degree is to be granted. Students who are not in the School of Education should obtain an application from the dean of the academic unit in which they are enrolled. No education degrees will be conferred or teaching licenses recommended without the candidate’s successful completion of all certification requirements, including satisfactory performance in student teaching.

5.Application for Indiana Teaching License

Degree Seeking Students

The application for teaching licensure in the state of Indiana may be secured from the Office of Education Student Services and must be returned to the certification officer before it is submitted to the Indiana Professional Standards Board. Prior to completion of the application, candidates for certification should obtain and complete a self-study program sheet from the Education Student Services Office.

The completion of the self-study program sheet entails an initial comparison by students of courses taken at colleges/universities attended. This will give students a general idea of the required course work needed to complete their intended certification. Evaluations will not be completed until all materials are received. The process takes approximately four weeks.

Licensing Procedures for Individuals Other than Degree-Seeking Students

Those holding a degree in education from an out-of-state institution or holding an out-of-state teaching license must go through the Indiana Professional Standards Board, 251 East Ohio Street, Suite 201, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204-2133 for an evaluation.

Those holding an Indiana license or who have never had certification can request an official evaluation from the IUSB Education Student Services Office.

There is a fee for each evaluation that must be sent with official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended. Send fee(s) and transcripts along with a completed self-study program sheet to: Education Student Services, IUSB, 1700 Mishawaka Avenue, Post Office Box 7111, South Bend, Indiana 46634-7111. Evaluations will not be completed until all materials are received. Once the evaluation is completed, it will be returned to the applicant. The process takes approximately four weeks. If there are any questions regarding the evaluation, an appointment can be made with an advisor from the Education Student Services Office. Those who decide to pursue teacher certification at IUSB must complete a formal application to the university. The application can be obtained from the Education Student Services Office.
 
 

Standardized Test Requirements

Pre-Professional Skills Test

The Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) is required for all education majors except those pursuing an associate degree in early childhood education. The PPST assesses basic skills in mathematics, reading, and writing. Students must pass all three parts of the test. The passing of the PPST and completion of EDUC P250 Educational Psychology are the minimum prerequisites for every education course except EDUC K200-EDUC K205 Introduction to Exceptional Children, and EDUC W200 Microcomputers for Educating: An Introduction. EDUC K205 and EDUC W200 are the only education courses which may be taken prior to passing EDUC P250 and all three parts of the PPST.

Students can take the test as many times as needed to obtain passing scores. Once a part of the PPST has been passed, it does not have to be retaken. For example, a student who passed the reading and writing portions of the PPST, but not the mathematics portion, would not have to retake the reading and writing portion of the test; the student would only register to retake the mathematics portion.

Specific dates of the PPST and registration deadlines are printed in the Praxis Series Bulletin. Bulletins are available in the Education Student Services Office. The registration deadline for the examination is usually four to five weeks in advance of the test. The examination is offered four to five times a year.

- PPST Passing scores:

MATH 175 or above
READING 176 or above
WRITING 172 or above
The Educational Testing Service also offers the Computer Based Test (CBT) as a substitute for the PPST. The CBT is simply the PPST on computer. Registration forms for the CBT are available in the Praxis Series Bulletin. Specific procedures and limitations apply to the CBT; students should read the information in the Praxis Series Bulletin carefully before registering.

- CBT Passing scores:

MATH 320 or above
READING 323 or above
WRITING 318 or above
National Teacher Examination

The Indiana Professional Standards Board requires that all candidates take the National Teacher Examination (NTE) prior to applying for an Indiana teaching license. A specialty area test (NTE) is required in each major, minor, primary, and supporting area. Minimum test scores are available in the Education Student Services Office. The NTE is comprised of two parts:

  1. PPST
  2. Specialty test
Successful PPST scores for admittance into the teachers education program will meet the state of Indiana licensure requirements for the first part of the NTE.
The NTE is a requirement of the Indiana Professional Standards Board. Most students will take the examination during their junior or senior year. Booklets describing the test, test sites, and dates are available in the Education Student Services Office.
 
 

Undergraduate Degrees in Other Divisions

A candidate may secure a senior high-junior high/middle school teacher license while working for a bachelor’s degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences or the School of the Arts. Such candidates must be admitted to a Teacher Education Program; must meet the general education, professional education, and subject-matter course requirements in the area in which they wish to be certified; and must have completed a minimum of 124 credit hours. Certification students from other academic units must make an appointment with the education undergraduate advisor to discuss their certification requirements.

Academic Advising and Program Planning

Academic advising is available from the Education Student Services Office. Undergraduate and graduate students enrolling in the School of Education or students in another academic unit who wish to seek teacher certification should meet with an advisor in that office.

Placement Services for Education Students

The Education Student Services Office of IUSB operates within the framework of the Placement Office of Indiana University Bloomington. The Education Student Services Office assists students in attaining teaching positions and arranges placement interviews with school officials in northern Indiana.

Complete placement papers are an essential part of any successful job search. Students are advised to complete their placement dossiers during their senior year so that the file is available upon request at graduation.

Personnel in the Education Student Services Office advise students concerning the subject area concentrations most in demand by employers and serve as contact persons for employers, students, and alumni seeking positions in education. Placement advisors also assist students in preparing résumés, interviewing, and conducting successful job campaigns.

Although there is no charge for compiling, registering, or updating credentials, a nominal fee is required to activate credentials in each single placement year, which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30.

Payment of the activation fee gives the registrant access to periodic lists of vacancies reported to the Bloomington Educational Placement Office and entitles the student to three sets of credentials mailed in support of applications for employment. An additional fee is charged for each set of credentials in excess of the original three.

The registrant can transmit credentials by written request to the Educational Placement Office. Credentials are also sent upon the written request of employers or the student’s faculty advisors. Only the registrant, however, can authorize the release of credentials in excess of the initial three sets.

Interviews with employers are arranged at IUSB each spring. Local school corporations, those within a 60-mile radius, are invited to interview with graduating seniors and certification students. IUSB students may also participate in interviews at the Bloomington campus with school corporations from all over the country.

The Education Student Services Office posts listings of job vacancies on the job board. Students are also eligible to receive a weekly national listing compiled by the Bloomington campus. Students may be contacted by the office about vacancies, and vacancy listings are also on file in the Education Student Services Office.

Education students also are encouraged to seek placement information and service from the IUSB Office of Career and Graduate School Planning and Placement, located in the Administration Building, for information outside of the field of education.
 
 

Professional Student Education Organizations

The Indiana Student Education Association

The Indiana Student Education Association (ISEA) is a student section of the National Education Association (NEA). Its aim is “to provide opportunities for personal growth, and participation in professional activities.” Membership entitles the student to all rights and privileges of the National Education Association, the Indiana State Teachers Association, and the Indiana Student Education Association, and a year’s subscription to Today’s Education and Impact. For further information, call the School of Education.

The Student Council for Exceptional Children

The Student Council for Exceptional Children (SCEC)  is devoted to the improvement of the education of all exceptional children—handicapped and gifted. Founded in 1922, SCEC has a membership composed of administrators, teachers, therapists, clinicians, students, and other people concerned with the education of exceptional children and youth. The Student Council for Exceptional Children is composed of students from across the United States. It serves the educational community through publications, special conferences, conventions, personnel recruitment and employment services, and legislative activities. Applications may be obtained from the special education secretary. The chapter meets regularly and welcomes new members who wish to be involved in the education of exceptional children.
 
 

Academic Policies Governing Retention in Undergraduate Study

Please refer to the University Academic Regulations and Policies section in the front part of this IUSB Bulletin for general information, all of which applies to education students unless explicitly noted otherwise. Academic policies specific to the School of Education are described below.
The school will not accept a grade below C (2.0) in the student’s concentration area(s) for either a bachelor’s degree or teacher certification program. Additional grade requirements are outlined in the sections on Admission to the Teacher Education Program and Probation/Retention requirements.

  • For students majoring in senior high-junior high/middle school education, the rule applies to professional education, major (primary), and minor (supporting) courses.
  • For students majoring in special education, the rule applies to professional education and major courses.
  • For students majoring in elementary education, the rule applies to professional education courses.
  • For students majoring in music education, the rule applies to applied music courses; conducting, orchestration, and techniques courses; and professional education courses.
Laboratory and Field Experience

In accordance with teacher certification requirements of the state of Indiana, all students in education must complete an established series of laboratory, field, practicum, and student teaching experiences.

Field experiences begin with introductory courses in education and continue throughout the undergraduate series of professional courses. Supervised experiences are provided in selected elementary, junior high/middle school, secondary, and special educational settings. These field experiences require time spent in the public schools during the usual daytime school hours. A fee is assessed for each of these formal experiences.

Correspondence Courses

With the permission of the advisor of the School of Education, students enrolled in regular course work may take correspondence work. Students will not be granted credit toward the degree Bachelor of Science in Education for more than 18 credit hours of work taken in correspondence courses.

A maximum of 12 credit hours in academic subjects may be taken by correspondence to count toward a general elementary or special education standard teaching license. These do not include specific education or methods courses. A maximum of 9 credit hours in a major/primary area and 6 credit hours in a minor/supporting area may be taken by correspondence to count toward a senior high-junior high/middle school teaching license. No education course may be taken through correspondence. MATH T101, T102, and T103 may not be taken through correspondence. For further information, students should consult the Indiana University Independent Study Program catalog of courses.

All correspondence courses must be completed with a grade recorded at the Education Student Services Office before the student will be allowed to student teach.

Pass/Fail Option

The general regulations for this option apply in the School of Education. A student preparing for junior high/middle, secondary, or special education may elect to receive a pass/fail rating in classes to fulfill general education requirements, providing they are not in the major/primary or minor/supporting teaching areas or part of the requirements in professional education. A student preparing for elementary education and special education may elect to receive a pass/fail rating in courses taken as electives. The request for pass/fail option must be completed during the first three weeks of fall and spring semesters, and during the first two weeks of a summer session by processing the prescribed request in the Education Student Services Office. This election is not reversible.

Professional Conduct and Alert Forms

In addition to academic performance, IUSB’s teacher certification candidates will be evaluated on the basis of their professional conduct and teaching performance. It is particularly important that IUSB education students maintain professional behavior in host schools, since they represent the university. Improper conduct on their part can adversely affect the lives of the children. Unsatisfactory professional conduct or performance on the part of an IUSB education student may result in that student’s separation from the Teacher Education Program.

The process by which unprofessional performance will be evaluated is the IUSB ALERT form. The ALERT form will be used by any professional connected with the Teacher Education Program to identify a student in the program whose professional performance or approach is questionable.

Because grades reflect the student’s academic performance, this form will not be used to report academic problems. Rather, it will be used when there is a strong concern about a student’s ability to become a professional educator. For example, a student may exhibit a genuine dislike for children or have behaviors toward education that would seem inconsistent with the requirements of the profession.

The intent of this system is to add professional judgment to the teacher education process. When an ALERT form has been filed, the student, the faculty program director, and the advising office will be notified. Confirmation of this notification will be sent to the person who filed the ALERT form. Except in very serious situations, two ALERTS must be received before a program director or program faculty advisor reviews a student’s case. It is assumed that in most cases corrective action will be taken, although such a review can result in termination of the student’s involvement in the program.

Probation, Dismissal, and Reinstatement - Pre-education Majors

  • Probation and Dismissal: A 2.0 GPA (C) is the minimum acceptable standard of performance for students at any campus of Indiana University. Students whose cumulative grade point averages fall below 2.0 must recognize that they are not making satisfactory progress toward a degree, are not in good standing, and are in danger of being dismissed from Indiana University (all of the Indiana University campuses).

  •  

     

    Students are on probation for the duration of the next regular semester or summer session following the one in which they fail to attain a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Students may be dismissed from the university if they have a cumulative GPA less than 2.0 for two consecutive semesters.
     

  • Appeal and Re-admission: A student may petition to be re-admitted to the school, using the petition form. Once dismissed, the student must wait for at least one semester before applying to the Curriculum and Standards Committee of the School of Education for re-admission. The deadlines for submitting the petition form to the Education Student Services Office for the Curriculum and Standards Committee are as follows:
    • October 1 Spring semester
    • June 1  Fall semester
    • March 1  Summer sessions


    If the student is re-admitted to the School of Education, an academic contract with the academic advisor must be signed. If the student does not meet the terms of the contract, dismissal from the School of Education will result.

Probation, Dismissal and Reinstatement - Teacher Education Program (TEP)
  • Probation and Dismissal: Students are on probation for the duration of the next regular semester or summer session following the one in which they fail to attain a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Students then need to obtain at least a 2.5 semester GPA the following semester, or risk dismissal from the school. If the cumulative GPA is below 2.5 for two successive semesters, students are required to make an appointment with their academic advisor to sign an academic contract. They will also be put on checklist and will require the academic advisor’s approval for registration in all classes. They will not be allowed to pre-register for any classes. If students do not meet the terms of the academic contract, they will be dismissed from the School of Education.

  •  

     

    In the case of serious illness or other extenuating circumstances, students will be allowed to present pertinent information to the Education Student Services Office and/or the dean of the School of Education. The above regulations may then be waived if conditions warrant.
     

  • Appeal and Re-admission: Students may petition for re-admission to the school, using the petition form. Once dismissed, the student must wait for at least one semester before applying to the Curriculum and Standards Committee of the School of Education for re-admission. The deadlines for submitting the petition form to the Education Student Services Office for the Curriculum and Standards Committee are:
    • October 1 Spring semester
    • June 1  Fall semester
    • March 1  Summer sessions


    If the student is re-admitted to the Teacher Education Program, an academic contract with the academic advisor must be signed. If the student does not meet the terms of the contract, dismissal from the School of Education will result.

    Students who are dismissed from the Teacher Education Program, but are still in good standing with the university, may transfer to another academic unit. They may not resume pre-education major status. If they choose to major in the education associate degree program, they will be checklisted and allowed to enroll in courses to complete that degree only.


Program Descriptions

Special Notice: The following program descriptions are written under the guidelines of the Rules 46-47 Teacher Education and Certification Handbook, which went into effect in 1978. Programs may be altered by the School of Education at IUSB in response to changes mandated by the Indiana Professional Standards Board or to increase the effectiveness of the program. Every effort will be made to ease any transition between changing requirements so as not to jeopardize the progress of the matriculated student. Students are advised to confer with the staff of the Education Student Services Office concerning the current educational requirements.

Computer Endorsement

With appropriate institutional and Indiana Professional Standards Board approval, the computer endorsement may be added to a student’s standard or professional license upon the completion of appropriate course work. Teachers holding this endorsement will be sufficiently competent to incorporate computers into instruction in a variety of contexts. For the next few years, these teachers will likely be the building-level experts. In that context, they likely will be called upon to advise their colleagues on hardware and software issues and conduct staff development activities, as well as teach computing to students.

Teachers holding this endorsement will be familiar with at least two languages: C++ and LOGO. They also will be acquainted with a large body of educational software designed to run on several different machines. They will be aware of the problems of introducing computing to the schools and moderately skilled in attacking those problems.
