The IU East School of Education is accepting new students for the 2024-2025 NLPS Pathway - Tomorrow’s Teachers Today (T3)
T3 is taught by IU East faculty. Each week students work independently or with their T3 classmates through their Canvas classroom lectures, readings, activities, and assignments. The IU East T3 instructors will have a Zoom classroom from 8:45AM – 9:30AM on both Thursday and Friday. Students are required to attend only one of these Zoom sessions each week, choosing which day best fits into their school schedule. Each T3 class is paired with a classroom experience within the school district, so students can observe and practice what they are learning in their T3 class, providing an immersive career exploratory experience for the student.
T3 students earn up to 12 college credits for the four education courses IU East offers within the NLPS pathway, counting directly towards a BS in Elementary or Secondary Education.
Please contact Jerry Wilde jwilde@iu.edu or Carla Ballenger ballengc@iu.edu for more information. IU East classes begin August 26.
Take a deeper dive into student-centered coaching. Join
Amanda Brueggeman, Ed. D. for a two-day session on the
continued implementation of Student-Centered Coaching.
Student-Centered Coaching is an evidence-based instructional
coaching model that shifts the focus from ‘fixing’ teachers to
collaborating with them to design instruction that targets student
outcomes.
