Introduction
The goals of the Office of Professional Preparation and Licensure (OPPL) are to provide service
to all individuals who request assistance and information regarding Purdue University Teacher
Education Programs and Indiana licensing for educators. OPPL objectives are to:
1. provide information about teacher education programs at Purdue University;
2. provide friendly, knowledgeable, and expedient assistance to individuals who utilize
OPPL services;
3. assist in the administration of Purdue University Teacher Education Council (TEC)
activities;
4. monitor candidates’ status and progress in the Teacher Education Program and maintain
documentation of decisions and procedures used in the administration of teacher
education programs;
5. provide representation at local, state, and national meetings that involve teacher
education and licensing issues;
6. serve as a communication link to all undergraduate and graduate students, academic
advisors, staff, faculty, and P-12 educators regarding State of Indiana licensing mandates,
standards and requirements; and
7. support accreditation activities.
Teacher Education Council (TEC)
Since its inception in 1963, the Teacher Education Council (TEC) at Purdue University has been
broadly representative of the academic colleges, departments, and programs that participate in
the undergraduate and graduate instruction of students preparing to meet licensure requirements.
The TEC was constituted to "represent the University faculty in the establishment of academic
standards for all students pursuing curricula leading to teacher certification."
The Teacher Education Council (TEC) is comprised of members of the teaching faculty and
administrative professional staff in academic units preparing professional educators on the West
Lafayette, Calumet, and North Central campuses as well as students and P-12 representatives.
The College of Education (COE) Dean chairs the TEC and is its chief executive officer.
The Program Convener Council (PCC) is the advisory body to the TEC. It is comprised of the
program conveners (leaders) of all initial and advanced level programs. The COE Associate
Dean for Learning chairs the PCC.
The Teacher Education Foundations Committee is comprised of faculty of teacher education
foundations courses and administrative professional staff. The COE Associate Dean for
Learning also chairs this committee. Its purposes are to: 1) regularly review the foundational
learning experiences for initial licensure teacher education programs at Purdue to maximize both
the quality and efficiency of Purdue teacher education; 2) make recommendations to the Program
Convener Council regarding these experiences; and 3) assist in ensuring that foundation teacher
education experiences are well-articulated and coordinated and meet national, state, and
institutional standards.

Summary Highlights for 2014-2015
Purdue University Teacher Education
Accreditation and Program Review
The Continuous Improvement Steering Committee (CISC) is charged with identifying areas
within Purdue’s Teacher Education program in which continuous improvement efforts are
needed or may be expanded. Tasks include:1) revisiting and developing recommendations for
revising the current conceptual framework to better align with standards and curricular changes
at Purdue University (introduction of a core curriculum), 2) revisiting a timeline and developing
a template for annual gathering of data at the Unit and program levels, 3) recommending a
strategy for P-12 assessment implementation, and 4) identifying strategies and recommending
procedures for increased collaboration with P-12 partners, including selecting cooperating
teachers.
During 2014-15, the Continuous Improvement Steering Committee began review of the Council
for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) standards as well as the evidence guide
and other materials related to accreditation. It discussed the possibility of a virtual practitioner
board and reviewed the CAEP Phase-in Schedule for Evidence and the TE Operational
Assessment/Decision System.
Program faculty members were encouraged to use the Teacher Education Reporting SharePoint
site, as well as continue with ongoing data collection to better facilitate the completion of
program review reports, with submissions beginning in Spring 2016.
Teacher Education Council Actions and Updates
Final Approval
Revised Program Proposal Guidelines were approved to include CAEP and a description of P-12
student learning outcomes assessments. That is, to describe opportunities to assess P-12 student
learning outcomes in a variety of ways using formative and summative measures and candidates’
ability to practice developing, delivering, and analyzing assessment results in clinical and field
based experience (if applicable).
Undergraduate Exceptional Needs (Special Education) Mild and/or Intense intervention program
was presented and approved.
Updates
Program updates included: Family and Consumer Sciences Education as a Human Services
Concentration
National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ)
The second review cycle moved from a rating system to a ranking one. Errors were noted and
notification of these errors sent to NCTQ staff.

Teacher Education Pinning Ceremony and Teacher’s Creed
The first-ever pinning ceremony was conducted on May 15, 2015. This event will be held
annually for all teacher education program completers who wish to participate. A Teacher’s
Creed also was recited.
The Program Convener Council (PCC) discussed and addressed many issues; a few of these
issues are noted below.
Faculty continue to learn about edTPA and how to incorporate it into Teacher Education
at Purdue,
Examination of the CAEP and InTASC requirements,
Indiana legislative updates and the impact on teacher education,
Preparation for SPA assessments,
Pearson Pedagogy Exam Gate placement, pass rates, and student needs, and
Candidate Professional Dispositions.

Teacher Education Standards
Purdue University teacher education programs align to state standards and requirements as well
as adhere to institutional and professional standards. These include the following.
Specialized Professional Association (SPA) Standards
Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) Standards
Indiana Department of Education Standards
National Board for Professional Teaching Standards
P-12 Academic Standards
The Model for Professional Preparation guides the vision for Teacher Education at Purdue. It is
the conceptual framework approved by the TEC.
4
The Continuous Improvement Steering Committee continued its review of the Council for the
Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) standards and will continue to provide guidance
so Teacher Education at Purdue meets these standards. Programs also adhere to the State of
Indiana rules, regulations, and standards. Teacher education programs are currently recognized
by Specialized Professional Associations and approved by the State of Indiana. As part of the
accreditation process, faculty are gearing up for submission of programs for review by the
Specialized Professional Associations (SPA) or the Indiana Department of Education. Teacher
Education programs are nationally recognized or state approved by the SPA or Indiana
Department of Education, respectively. The professional education unit is accredited by
NCATE.
In alignment with national and state standards, Purdue University uses the Interstate Teacher
Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) standards as the foundation for preparing
teachers. The InTASC standards measure knowledge, dispositions, and performances of
educators. Knowledge is an understanding of subject content and methods of teaching.
Dispositions are attitudes and beliefs about teaching and learning. Performance is the ability to
combine both knowledge and dispositions for successful performance in the classroom. By
assessing these areas, Purdue University prepares competent, professional educators.
Likewise, Purdue University adheres to the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC)
standards and National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) for preparation at
the advanced levels. New CAEP standards for advanced programs were adopted on June 5,
2014, at the CAEP Board of Directors meeting. Purdue program faculty began looking at these
standards to ensure alignment. In addition, the counseling program in the College of Education
is recognized by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs
(CACREP), and the Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences program in the College of Health
and Human Sciences is accredited by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association
(ASHA).
Regarding State Standards, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) contracted with
Pearson to develop the Indiana Developmental and Content Standards for Educators, which
include educator standards in forty-six content and administrative areas and at five school setting
developmental levels. The standards are grounded in scientifically based research and are aligned
with the Rules for Educator Preparation and Accountability (REPA), Indiana Academic
Standards, Indiana Core Standards, the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and for
English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects,
standards of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), and other relevant
standards of national professional organizations.

Teacher Education Rules
The Rules for Educator Preparation and Accountability (REPA) 3 went into effect January 16,
2015. Some requirements were effective immediately; others, such as the changeover from
REPA to REPA 3 will be implemented between January 16, 2015, and August 31, 2019.

Notes: Enrollment numbers are only undergraduate students who may not yet be admitted to the Teacher Education Program at Gate A. Source: Office of Enrollment Management
Gate Actions include undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students who may be counted in more than one Gate and/or action.
Due to the transition from the 4-Gate to 3-Gate system, the chart above reflects a combination by Gate function. Admission to the Teacher Education Program includes Gates A and A2. The Gate B column includes only candidates from 4-Gate (note the much lower number) as this intermediate step is no longer a function in the 3–Gate system. The Gate prior to student teaching is represented by Gates B2 and C. Gate D is the number of program completers/licensure.
On May 15, 2015, the Purdue University Board of Trustees approved renaming the College of Technology to Purdue Polytechnic Institute

4Beginning in 2012-2013, Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) no longer make recommendations for individuals hired under an Emergency Permit. School districts work directly with
the Indiana Department of Education to complete the application process. Individuals may complete alternate licensure routes. They may either complete a licensure program at an IHE or
successfully complete a content test, depending on whether they hold an Indiana instructional administrator or school services license. Information about Emergency Permits is located at
www.doe.in.gov/licensing/emergency-permits-1. Information about adding a content area to an existing license is located at www.doe.in.gov/licensing/current-indiana-teachers-add-content-
areas. Information about alternate licensure routes is located at www.doe.in.gov/licensing/alternative-licensure-paths.
1In May 2011, the State of Indiana created a rule stating that individuals who held a Master’s degree or had 5-7 years of teaching experience were expected to be recommended for
Accomplished Practitioner/Professional licenses. Due to this rule, the Office of Professional Preparation and Licensure experienced a significant increase in license conversions to the
Professional/Accomplished Practitioner level.
2On May 2, 2011, the State of Indiana's new online licensing LVIS went live. The system no longer required that Reading licenses be added as a separate additional license, it could be
obtained with the original license. This resulted in a major reduction for additions. Had this rule not changed the Office of Professional Preparation and Licensure would have had an
additional 167 additions of Reading in association with the Elementary Education, Elementary & Special Education, and Language Arts programs.
3Prior to 2011-2012, renewals were counted by content areas regardless of how many content areas an individual had, however, licenses are now counted by the individual rather than by
content area.

Purdue University Teacher Education Program Exit Survey
2014-2015
The main purpose of the Teacher Education Program Exit Survey is to identify the strengths and areas for improvement in
the Purdue University Teacher Education Program and to provide feedback to faculty for possible program revisions. The
2014-2015 survey is aligned to the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) Model Core Teaching
Standards.
In November 2014 and April 2015, the Office of Professional Preparation and Licensure, in collaboration with the Office
of Field Experiences, distributed the Teacher Education Program Exit Survey with instructions via the Purdue Qualtrics
Survey System to 85 Fall 2014 and 157 Spring/Summer 2015 student teachers. The response rate for the survey follows:
Fall 2014: 33% (Out of 85 student teachers, 28 responded)
Spring 2015: 13.4% (Out of 157 student teachers, 21 responded)
A total of 49 student teachers responded for an overall return rate of 20.3%. Approximately 35% of the survey respondents
were Elementary Education majors. The remaining respondents completed secondary and all schools (P-12) education
majors. The response rate increased from 15.3% in 2013-2014 to 20.3% in 2014-2015.
