Indiana Tech students now have a seamless path to becoming licensed teachers through its partnership with the Education Division of the University of Saint Francis (USF).<\/p>\n
The pathway is made possible through USF\u2019s Transition to Teaching (TTT) program. Indiana Tech students can add a teaching license\u2014in elementary, special, middle and secondary education\u2014to their area of study, enabling them to pursue teaching opportunities upon completion of the program. This combined educational experience allows Indiana Tech students to complete their bachelor\u2019s degree while working toward an Indiana Teaching License. What\u2019s more, TTT credits transfer directly into USF\u2019s Master\u2019s in Education program, giving students a head start on a graduate degree.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndiana Tech is committed to developing more teachers who will help reduce the teacher shortage in our state while enriching the communities in which they live,\u201d said Indiana Tech President Karl W. Einolf, Ph.D. \u201cWhile the positive impact this programming will have on our students is gratifying, I wonder at the possible impact these students will have on the lives they touch in the future. That is what makes this collaboration with the University of Saint Francis so significant and special.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUSF has trained teachers for more than 130 years, and quality educators remain essential in our rapidly changing world. This partnership with Indiana Tech will not only benefit their students and ours, but also untold numbers of students in the future whose lives will be changed by the work and example of these highly skilled and value-driven educators,\u201d said USF President Rev. Dr. Eric Albert Zimmer.\u202f\u201cAs these graduates look to further refine their classroom skills and grow in their vocation as teachers, USF will be there for them with our Master of Arts in Teaching degree as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
