Indiana Wesleyan University National & Global will begin offering a non-degree graduate certificate for educators wishing to add licensure to their existing educator license. The program and additional licensure will prepare educators to move into grade levels not covered under their current license. For example, an upper elementary teacher or middle school teacher may want to change classrooms to teach younger students in kindergarten or pre-school, or a secondary teacher may want to transition to an elementary classroom. To make the switch in Indiana, they must obtain additional licensure to include Early Childhood Education or Elementary Education.
Indiana Wesleyan University’s unique program provides the guidance and certification needed to make these transitions possible. An existing teacher can add a graduate certificate in as little as eight months. During the program, these developing educators will create lesson plans, conduct a diversity case study, and learn literacy specific teaching and learning. While learning valuable content, they will experience faith integration with devotions and application to key assignments in an online and experiential format.
Faculty at National & Global are excited to offer the Early Childhood and Elementary Education License Addition Graduate Certificate because it opens possibilities for teachers to move into different grade levels. This rare program appeals to Indiana teachers ready to change classrooms and gives school districts direction in encouraging educators to stay within their corporation while earning a certificate to teach in high-demand areas. The Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education Graduate Certificates do all those things and National and Global stands ready to serve educators as they explore a shift in classroom teaching.
Students in the program will take four three-credit-hour courses which can be completed 100% online. Financial Aid is available for students with an invaluable increase in professional possibilities. Teachers can move into desired classroom teaching positions and have more job options to choose from as an educator. Indiana Wesleyan University joins a narrow field of higher education institutions offering educators this valuable grad certifications.
