Accelerated Alternative Program\/Certificate for Initial Licensure in Mild Interventions<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a nationwide shortage of qualified teachers in special education. To enter this challenging field, join Butler\u2019s Graduate Initial Licensure Program in Special Education. In one year, you can become licensed to teach students in special education needing mild intervention in preschool through grade 12. Our non-degree program is for adults with bachelor\u2019s degrees in education or other subjects. It is an effective alternate route to licensing for individuals now working as job coaches or instructional aids and assistants, as well as those who want to transition to a rewarding education career.<\/p>\n

Mild Interventions Courses include:<\/p>\n

Foundations of Effective Reading Instruction,\u00a0Assistive Technology, Communication and Collaboration with Stakeholders in Special Education, Foundations of Teaching Children with Differences,\u00a0\u00a0Assessment of Students with Special Needs,\u00a0Behavior Management for Inclusive Classrooms,\u00a0Special Education Law,\u00a0Characteristics of Children Needing Mild Intervention, Strategies for Teaching Children Needing Mild Intervention,\u00a0Practicum Teaching and Portfolio Development,\u00a0Literacy Elective.<\/p>\n

Graduate Initial Licensure Program\/Certificate<\/a><\/p>\n

The Graduate Initial Licensure Program (GILP) is a 31-hour program consisting of 24 hours of graduate level coursework and seven hours of a clinical capstone experience. The program follows a cohort model in which each student proceeds through the program with a consistent peer group. Students have the option to complete this program independently to obtain a teaching license for grades 5\u201312 in their content area of expertise or may continue on to complete the Master\u2019s in Effective Teaching and Leadership (METL).<\/p>\n

Hinkle Academy for Wellness and Sport Leadership Certificate<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hinkle Academy is a graduate-level, 12-credit-hour certificate program. Designed by members of Butler\u2019s Department of Athletics, College of Education, and Health and Recreation Complex, the Hinkle Academy uses the Butler Way ethos as a foundation for studying effective leadership. It will prepare you to empower team commitment and excellence in your organization and community. You will connect with recognized Indianapolis leaders in sport and wellness and with professional experiences and help design your own apprenticeship. Completing this one-year, graduate-level hybrid certificate program can take you one-third of the way towards a Butler Master\u2019s in Effective Teaching and Leadership degree or towards another graduate degree programs pending approval.<\/p>\n

International Baccalaureate Teaching and Learning Certificate<\/a><\/p>\n

Interested in\u00a0teaching in an International Baccalaureate (IB) world school, or other global education settings? In one year, you can prepare for certification in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP, instruction for ages 3-12) or the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP, instruction for ages 11-16). Course credits can be applied to the elective requirement of the Master\u2019s in Effective Teaching and Leadership degree at Butler.<\/p>\n

Licensed Mental Health Counselor Certificate<\/a><\/p>\n

Butler University offers a graduate non-degree program specifically designed to build on the master\u2019s in School Counseling, providing the coursework required for the State of Indiana License in Mental Health Counseling (LMHC).\u00a0This 12-credit hour certificate program provides the three content-based classes and the advanced internship that align with state requirements for the LMHC. The program is designed to dovetail with the 48 credit hour master\u2019s in School Counseling, but admission is not limited to school counselors. Classes can be taken individually, according to availability. * With demand for mental health workers on this rise, the LMHC certificate opens the door to many interesting job opportunities.<\/p>\n

Teachers of the Visually Impaired Certificate<\/p>\n

This\u00a0graduate non-degree program designed to offer candidates greater depth of instruction, more hands-on work with visually impaired students, and greater contact with successful blind adults as role models. The program consists of a series of nine courses totaling 19 credit hours. This program can be an add-on to an existing undergraduate or graduate license. Students must complete an introduction to special education course before they begin the Teachers of the Visually Impaired (VI) program. The program prerequisites are classes currently required in our Elementary Education major (ED490, Assessment of Students with Special Needs, and ED492, Special Education Law).<\/p>\n

The courses offered during the fall and spring semesters will be taught as hybrid classes with a blend of online and face-to-face instruction. The summer courses will be taught at a location that includes children who are visually impaired, e.g., at the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired during summer enrichment programs.<\/p>\n

Teachers of the Visually Impaired Courses include:<\/p>\n

Eye Conditions,\u00a0\u00a0Beginning Braille,\u00a0Low Vision Instructional Adaptations, Adapted Materials for Visually Impaired, Assistive Technology for Visually Impaired Learners, Literacy for Visually Impaired Learners, Orientation and Mobility for Visually Impaired Learners, Philosophy of Visual Impairment, Practicum with Learners with Visual Impairments.<\/p>\n
