  • School of Educational Leadership

    The mission of the Indiana Wesleyan University School of Educational Leadership is to be the leader in providing Christ-centered education programs that address the spiritual and professional challenges of P–12 educators, leaders, and counselors by providing them with an integrated experience of character, scholarship, and leadership development. We offer dynamic programs that serve to apply this mission by drawing teachers, administrators, and other school personnel into an integrated experience of intellectual challenge, spiritual growth, and leadership development. Our programs call candidates to Christian character and academic excellence, equip them for success in their disciplines, mentor them in leadership, and prepare them for service.

    Through the IWU School of Educational Leadership, we offer a variety of Adult Education Programs to help you meet your own personal and professional goals:

    Adult Teacher Licensure Programs

    • Transition to Teaching (TTT) - a transition-to-teaching program for non-teachers who are seeking an Indiana State teaching license. The student teaching experience requires nine (9) weeks of full-time teaching.

    Continuing Studies for Teacher-Leaders

    • We also offer a variety of Professional Development courses for the ongoing professional development of P–12 teachers, including Continuing Studies and Performance Learning Systems (PLS), and even Add-On Electives.
    • Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) Credentialing – a 7-credit hour graduate level, non-degree, non-certificate program for individuals teaching in an ACSI member school in the United States who wish to obtain their standard ACSI teaching credential.  For individuals teaching in an international ACSI member school outside the United States, the program is 10-credit hours.  Courses may also be utilized for the renewal of the ACSI standard teaching credential.

    Advanced Studies for Teacher Leaders

    • Master of Education (M.Ed.) - a 33-credit hour advanced degree program emphasizing teacher leadership and a self-selected content area specialization. Candidates complete the program in approximately 24 months.

Candidates complete the program in approximately 27 months. This program is only available in an online format outside the United States and through a special agreement with Indiana Wesleyan University.
    • Teaching Certificates – the teaching certificate programs provide an 18-credit hour post-baccalaureate program to teachers seeking additional content areas for teaching licensure. Candidates completing the 18-credit hour program gain content knowledge and content pedagogical knowledge related to professional teaching standards for their content area.

    Educational Administration

    • Principal Licensure Program (PLP) – a post-master’s certificate (non-degree) licensure program leading to Indiana’s P-12 Building Administrator’s license.

    Teacher License Renewal and Professionalization
