Have you looked around your school and noticed a need for instructors in special education? Have you ever considered adding a mild intensive license to your teaching license? The state of Indiana has partnered with universities to try and bridge the gap between the amount of need in special services and the number of licensed instructors available. The I-Seal program provides multiple different pathways for educators to obtain their mild-intervention license, all completely free of cost. Further, the program allows teachers to work within their own school and district for field experience. Aaron Edwards worked with U-Indy and completed the program in a hybrid style and I completed it through Taylor U working completely asynchronous but with the feedback and mentorship of professors there. We will be talking about our experience with the program. We would also have representatives from the I-Seal available for questions from the audience (I would arrange this) and links and resources available for those who attended. The program is open for teachers K-12 but is only applicable to individuals who already have a teaching license.
