  • Current: Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs)

Now Accepting Public Comment

Beginning July 1, 2024, Indiana educator preparation providers (EPPs) with early childhood, elementary generalist, and special education (P-12) programs must incorporate programmatic changes or curricular modifications to prepare candidates for an early literacy endorsement. Ensuring all programs are aligned to research-based standards will ensure program completers are equipped to provide instructional practices designed to improve student reading achievement and learning outcomes. The Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading from the International Dyslexia Association (KPS – IDA) are being considered as part of the pedagogical and/or content preparation required of their teacher candidates. The public is invited to review these standards and the additional resources and guidance provided by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA); click here for details. The public comment period will close on Friday, September 29, 2023, at 5 p.m. ET. Following the public comment period, comments, and a recommendation to adopt IDA standards for Indiana educator preparation will be considered by the State Board of Education.
