Today’s students need teachers committed to sparking creativity and curiosity in the classroom – because that’s where inspiration starts. Through the Transition to Teaching (TTT) P-12 program, you’ll build on your bachelor’s degree and learn to create a technology-rich, student-centered learning environment in P-12 classrooms. What is P-12 education? P-12 education encompasses preschool through senior year of high school education.
If you want to be the catalyst who sets students on the course to a successful future, you’re in the right place. The TTT - P-12 certificate program is a graduate level, non-degree initial licensure program structured to prepare candidates to apply subject matter expertise, assessment knowledge, and differentiated instructional practices to technology rich learning environments for today's P-12 students. Indiana Wesleyan’s 100% online P-12 certificate program can be completed in two years and prepares you for Indiana licensure exams.

NOTE: Applicants should be aware that Indiana State Legislation has mandated that expanded background checks are required for those working with students in Indiana schools. Applicants will also be required to adhere to any additional State Mandates required for educators. Though candidates will be required to submit an initial background check that is acceptable to the university as a part of their application materials, that successful background report will only serve to gain admittance to that academic program. School corporations are governed by a locally elected Board of Trustees who set policy for their school corporation. All accepted candidates should understand that additional background checks at the candidate's expense will most likely be required by school corporations before participating in clinical experiences.
Upon completion of the Transition to Teaching P-12 Education Program, candidates will be recommended for P-12 Educator Licensure in the state of Indiana. Candidates seeking licensure in states other than Indiana bear the responsibility to determine whether completion of the IWU Transition to Teaching P-12 Education program will meet the academic and assessment requirements of the state in which licensure is sought.
