WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. —

Purdue University’s College of Education is doing its part to encourage a career in teaching. Among the initiatives, for example, are a completely online add-on license to prepare teachers – for free – to provide effective language, literacy, and content-area instruction for students classified as English Language Learners; collaboration with other Indiana teacher training schools to promote teaching as a career; and initiatives like the Indiana GEAR UP program which prepares and mentors middle school students on their pre-college journey through their first year of college.

Read about the work being done to address this need on the Purdue University College of Education website.
