Posted in News Marian University, Ivy Tech Partnering to Recruit, Prepare More Diverse Leadership for Hoosier Classrooms Posted on May 12, 2021 by ivytechcc Future teachers could earn three degrees simultaneously for no more than $45,000 (INDIANAPOLIS, IN) — The Fred S. Klipsch Educators College at Marian University and Ivy Tech Community College are teaming up to offer a dual-admissions program aimed at recruiting and preparing more teachers with diverse backgrounds to lead Indiana’s classrooms and reduce higher education expenses. The Marian-Ivy Tech initiative announced today at Southport High School includes a low-to-no-cost innovative dual-admission, dual-enrollment program. As part of the cadet teaching program, while still in high school, students will begin earning an associate degree at Ivy Tech, before transitioning to the Klipsch Educators College where they will earn a bachelor’s degree with a teacher certification. To complete the program, students will then pursue a master’s degree at no cost and participate in a one-year paid clinical residency in an Indiana classroom. “Highly effective teachers are indispensable to advancing student achievement and the educational attainment level in Indiana.” said Marian University President Daniel J. Elsener. “Marian University’s Klipsch Educators College embraces innovative approaches to increasing the teacher talent pool. This collaboration with Ivy Tech will do much to bring diverse, highly talented and well-prepared teachers to every classroom in Indiana.” Students who complete the program will earn three degrees – associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees – for a total of $45,000 (not including possible financial aid which could lower the cost even more). “This partnership will provide the opportunity for many more students to earn an affordable, high quality teaching degree to fill the critical teacher shortage Indiana is facing,” said Dr. Sue Ellspermann, President of Ivy Tech. “In fact, students could earn their first year free while in high school through Ivy Tech dual credit, earning a Technical Certificate within the Next Level Programs of Study.” According to Klipsch Educators College dean LaTonya Turner, Ph.D., 40 percent of today’s school population is students of color, and the teacher population is not reflective of this. “It is incumbent upon our universities, both public and private, to aggressively recruit highly qualified and talented individuals to lead Hoosier classrooms,” Turner said. “The Klipsch Educators College recognizes the need for teachers of all backgrounds, and we are focusing on our efforts to prepare the best and the brightest to help drive student success.” To recruit more educators of color, Marian University is partnering with six Ivy Tech campuses throughout the state, including Indianapolis, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Evansville, Lafayette, and Lake County. The initiative will begin as a pilot program of 100 students in fall 2021 with a goal of 50 percent of the participants being students of color. By 2025, Turner said the partnership plans to enroll 500 students. “We know students of color benefit when they have the opportunity to learn from educators who look like them. Our most recent data show fewer than 15 percent of educators graduating from college come from a minority population. There’s a clear disconnect between the classroom need and our current pipeline of educators coming out of college,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. “This partnership is an innovative opportunity to break down barriers and continue moving toward Indiana’s goal of having a diverse teaching corps, which is to the benefit of all Hoosier students.” During the last several years, Indiana and the country have struggled with a teacher shortage. Recent studies indicate most Hoosier schools report a teacher shortage, and that by empowering students to start educator preparation programs earlier in their education, they see higher program completions, ultimately with more qualified teachers in the classroom. “Indiana is committed to elevating the purposeful, difference-making profession of teaching, including attracting exceptional candidates to serve Indiana’s more than 1.1 million students,” said Dr. Katie Jenner, Indiana Secretary of Education. “By teaming up, Marian University and Ivy Tech, in partnership with K-12 schools, will allow students to go from high school, to college, to teaching in their own classroom through a seamless pathway option. This partnership is an important step in strengthening our teacher pipeline, as it follows researched best practices focused on the importance of engaging candidates as early as possible in their education, as well as encouraging racially and ethnically diverse candidates to become teachers.” ### About Marian University Indianapolis Founded in 1937, Marian University is the only Catholic university in Indianapolis and central Indiana.
