Professional Education

Admission to the Becoming a Complete Professional (BCP) Program is a critical benchmark for teacher candidates. Until undergraduate students are admitted to the BCP, they do not have official status in their academic programs for graduation and licensing. All students must be admitted into BCP before they are admitted to any 300 or higher level course. Each teacher candidate is evaluated throughout his or her program by program faculty based on academic and professional competencies.  Continuation in the Becoming a Complete Professional Program is dependent on satisfactory progress and assessments.

The following requirements must be met prior to enrollment in supervised teaching:

1. Admission to the Becoming a Complete Professional (BCP) II.
2. Completion of a minimum of 20 semester hours of work in residence at Indiana State University.
3. An overall minimum grade point average of 2.5.
4. A minimum grade point average of 2.5 in each teaching content area as well as the overall major.
5. Satisfactory completion of the Professional Education sequence with a minimum grade point average of 2.5 for these classes and a grade of C or higher in each class. Professional classes may be repeated only once. (See Teaching Curricula section for Middle School/Junior High and Senior High Schools and All School Settings.)

While assigned to supervised teaching, students will not enroll in additional course work including correspondence courses except those courses required for student teaching, nor plan for any employment or assume any other obligations which would interfere with all-day supervised teaching.
9. The student should assume no obligation that interferes with his or her leaving the campus to live in the community that provides the most appropriate supervised teaching assignment.
