The following mathematics teacher education programs in Indiana (presented in alphabetical order) have faculty that are affiliated with HAMTE and are therefore committed to continuous improvement and the mathematics education community in Indiana. We encourage any prospective students interested in becoming a mathematics teacher to consider these programs and reach out to their representatives.
Degree Options: B.A. or B.S. in Mathematics with a concentration in Secondary Mathematics Teaching (grade 5-12) or Middle School Mathematics Teaching (grade 5-9); B.A. or B.S. in Elementary Education (grade K-6) with a Mathematics Concentration
Description: At Ball State University, you will have opportunities to take advanced mathematics and teaching courses, further developing your mathematics knowledge and learning how to best help students develop theirs. Included in your coursework are a large number of math education courses designed specifically for math teaching majors – 6 courses for secondary math teaching majors and 11 for middle school math teaching majors! You will join a community guided by more than 10 dedicated mathematics education faculty members—a rare concentration of expertise committed to your growth. Throughout the program, you will participate in several field experiences beginning in your first semester at Ball State. Your learning will be scaffolded as you begin by working one-on-one with students before progressing to small group instruction and, eventually, leading lessons for the entire class. Students who complete this program will acquire the skills and credentials to qualify as a licensed middle school or secondary school (includes middle school) teacher in the state of Indiana.

Degree Options: Elementary Education; Special Education – Mild Intervention; Middle/Secondary Education with a concentration in Mathematics Education
Description: At Butler University, the College of Education and Human Development prepares educators in a way that truly integrates theory with practice, especially elementary educators. Beginning in the first year and continuing all the way through graduation, undergraduates will be in K-12 classrooms. In fact, Butler’s CEHD partnerships allow for undergraduates to take many courses on site in elementary, middle, and high schools where the theory learned from expert faculty can be taken just down the hall to a real-life field experience. For elementary educators, this culminates in a full year of student teaching—every day, all day—during your senior year, which will give you a total of over 1,500 hours of in-classroom experience during your four years at Butler. Special Education—Mild Intervention majors will develop the skills needed to be a P–12 Special Education teacher for learners with mild intervention needs. Theyll be equipped and licensed to teach, support, and advocate for students with disabilities using evidence-based strategies and immersed in a full year of student teaching in a Special Education placement, in addition to coursework with built-in supervised field opportunities. Middle/Secondary candidates complete the same number of content courses as Butler students majoring in those areas do. They also spend more than 800 hours in local classrooms, working alongside education faculty mentors as they develop their teaching expertise, including a semester long student teaching experience where they spend eight weeks in a high school setting and eight weeks in a middle school setting.

Degree Options: At PFW undergraduates who plan to be licensed to teach high school mathematics complete two degrees—one is a BS in Mathematics, the other is a BSEd in Secondary Education. Both degrees are integrated into an 8-semester 120-credit program. Those who wish to only teach middle school complete an Elementary Education degree with a concentration in mathematics and one other content area.
Description: During their senior year, our students participate in an intensive 60 hour field experience where they collaborate with 1-3 peers and a classroom teacher to plan, implement, reflect on and revise lessons for a full unit of study for middle or high school math classes. This program is connected to their Secondary Mathematics Methods course.

Degree Options: USI offers a Bachelor of Science (or Bachelor of Arts) degree in the following subjects: Mathematics Teaching (Grades 5-12); Elementary Education (with an Elementary Mathematics Minor); Elementary Education (with an Elementary/Middle School Mathematics Minor)
Description: Students enrolled in the Math Teaching program at USI often praise the strong support provided by faculty and small class sizes that allow students to build relationships with individual faculty. Majors in the Department of Mathematical Sciences have designated space in the department to work, socialize, and collaborate. A Teaching Eagles Scholarship Program benefits students who want to pursue STEM teaching majors and minors with significant financial assistance for tuition. Prospective mathematics teachers have at least three opportunities to engage in K-12 classrooms prior to their student teaching semester. These field-based experiences provide new teachers with rich experiences to learn to teach in school settings. USI’s student teaching involves a co-teaching model, where teaching supervisors work to teach simultaneously with classroom teachers. Students also participate in a number of student-led organizations, including Mathematics Club and Student Education Association. Situated on a beautiful 1400+ acre campus, USI is home to a vibrant campus life and a unique housing environment.
