IPS offers teacher apprenticeship, principal residency to attract educators of color (Chalkbeat Indiana)
The district plans to train 10 teachers at three elementary schools next year through a partnership with a local charter network. IPS will join Christel House’s IndyTeach program, a free, one-year alternative path to licensure. Prospective teachers will be paid a salary, embedded in IPS classrooms, and partnered with a mentor while preparing for the licensing exam.
The new principal residency will offer a year of paid on-the-job training and mentoring for aspiring leaders, assistant principals, and out-of-district principals who want to work at IPS. Four spots will be available in that program.
