Transition to Teaching Programs (T2T) are the fastest routes to teacher licensing for potential candidates who have a bachelor’s degree. Two programs, created in response to state legislation and teacher shortages, exist at IUPUI:  one prepares elementary teachers and the other prepares secondary teachers. The T2T programs at IUPUI have an urban school focus as T2T candidates work with mentor teachers and students in local Indianapolis schools.

Both programs select candidates to be part of a cohort that takes courses together throughout the entire program.  The T2T programs are comprised of a sequence of graduate level courses and practical school experiences. Students admitted to the program take all prescribed courses in order. Elementary T2T candidates work alongside undergraduate students for part of their program. Elementary T2T candidates also take some of the same courses as students in the undergraduate Learning to Teach/Teaching to Learn program.   The Secondary T2T Program has its own set of courses taught only to the cohort.
