Looking to earn your full licensure in special education? Indiana Special Education Assisted Licensure (I-SEAL) provides Indiana’s current and future special education educators with access to convenient, accelerated options and key financial support.
- For educators licensed in another subject: Currently-licensed teachers who wish to add special education to their existing license can participate in a fully-funded 18-credit hour graduate program through the University of Indianapolis, Taylor University or Indiana Wesleyan University.
- For individuals currently enrolled in a graduate-level special education preparation program: Individuals who are currently enrolled in a graduate-level special education teacher preparation program can earn scholarship assistance to support the completion of their required special education coursework and purchase textbooks.
- For non-education bachelor’s degree holders: Special education educators who have not earned full licensure but hold a non-education bachelor’s degree may receive a scholarship to enroll in a federally-compliant Transition to Teaching program. Twelve Transition to Teaching programs in special education are currently available across Indiana.
- For individuals who have not yet passed the state licensing exam: Individuals who have completed a special education preparation program but have not yet passed the state licensure exam can participate in a free test-preparation workshop.
Eligible individuals can learn more and apply for assistance by visiting IndianaSEAL.org.
SPECIAL NOTICE:
Educational Testing Service, Indiana’s licensure test vendor, has updated Middle School Social Studies test #5089. The current test will be phased out over the next year, replaced by test #5589, Middle School Social Studies. A multistate standard-setting study was conducted for test #5589 in January 2025; 16 panelists represented 10 states, including one panelist from Indiana. The multistate cut score is 71 out of a possible 100 raw-score points. The scale score associated with a raw score of 71 is 149 on a 100-200 scale. Test# 5589 will be used for licensure of social studies teachers at the middle school level, grades 5-9, and will replace the current test as of September 1, 2026. A one-page summary of test changes is provided. You may review the full multistate standard-setting report here and provide feedback here by 12:00 noon (ET) on Friday, June 13.
