LICENSE ADDITION	PREMISE
A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON AND INDIANA UNIVERSITY SOUTHEAST	Local growth in the number of English Learners (ELs), self-reported training needs for English as a Second Language, or English as a New Language -(ESL/ENL) by individual teachers and school corporations, and legal mandates suggest that a License in ESL/ENL is positioned to meet the regional needs of our service area.	In Southern Indiana, the number of Limited English Proficiency students (LEP) continues to grow in more densely populated areas. However, rural Indiana schools are also experiencing demographic changes. In addition, federal laws compel public schools to provide adequate educational opportunities to children and youth who are English Learners.	IU Bloomington and IU Southeast have partnered to make a SECOND LICENSE IN ESL/ENL education accessible to licensed teachers in Southern Indiana. The strong tradition of IUB in the area of ESL/ENL and the proven commitment of IUS to the cause of quality education for ALL students, make it possible to effectively use the respective institutional strengths benefiting ELs, teachers, school districts, and local communities.

Certification IN/KY:	Indiana K-12 (Rules 46-47)

		Indiana - Developmental levels of initial license (Rules 2002)

Highlights:

This is a second license requiring an initial teaching license.	It combines four on-line courses offered by IU Bloomington and four on-site courses offered by IU Southeast.	Courses are offered in most semesters. The licensing office is IU Bloomington; IUS’ graduate licensing advisor will initiate the licensing procedures and will provide assistance to candidates as well as inter-institutional coordination.	Course substitutions are approved by the IUB licensing office; advising takes place at IUS.

IUS’ courses addressing ESL/ENL teaching and learning (E514 & E518 prior to the prospective number change to L520 and L524) may be petitioned as substitutions.	Some course work may be applicable to the master’s degree at IUS; candidates interested in pursuing the master’s should verify this with the IUS graduate licensing advisor and program coordinator.	H520 and M300 are interchangeable. So are L541 and H553. H553 takes place abroad and carries 2 credits; an additional credit is required to complete the clinical experience, which must take place in a local setting.	Presently, tuition for on-line courses is considered “in-state” for all participants. Per Reciprocity Agreement between Indiana and Kentucky, candidates from Kentucky counties of Bullitt, Jefferson, Oldham, and Trimble are eligible for “in-state” tuition rates for IUS.
