The following links are active as of August 1, 2025. These work for single observations, midterms, and final evaluations. They can be completed by Student Teachers (midterm only), Cooperating Teachers (midterm or final), and University Supervisors (observations and final). Results are sent to each of the ST, CT, and US. The directors for student teaching—both undergraduate and Transition to Teaching—receive warnings if student teachers are not making adequate progress. The Director for Assessment is notified of final evaluations.

Mileage Log (Excel) OR Mileage Log (Fillable PDF)
1/23/19: The Purdue University West Lafayette Tax Department is now requiring starting point and ending point addresses along with odometer readings for each trip. If you choose to not include odometer readings, then you must provide a Mapquest printout for each trip which shows the mileage from the starting point address to the ending point address in order to get reimbursed for your mileage. The odometer reading seems like the easier choice. The Tax Department has become very strict with their requirements and are unwilling to make exceptions.
For travel beginning on or after January 1, 2019, Purdue Fort Wayne employees may use the IRS Federal rate or the State of Indiana Rate, as allowed by funding source. The lower, Purdue Fort Wayne rate, is hereby rescinded.
Per Philip Davich in Accounting Services at Purdue Fort Wayne: If you have an office on campus, your mileage must begin and end on campus. It does not matter if you leave from home or if you return home after a visit.
You must fill in the single line "point A" and "point B" addresses & odometer readings along with the elapsed mileage (column in gray) per line (total it at the bottom and make sure the total is correct). If you only list the visit from point A to point B, but do not list the return trip from point B back to point A, we will accept the mileage log as a one way trip and that the log has been completed properly by you; therefore, we will not verify whether or not the mileage log sheet is correct.

After you have completed the required course work for your education program which includes student teaching, you will graduate from Purdue University Fort Wayne with a Bachelor of Science degree.
Upon successful graduation, passing the state required exams, and obtaining certificates in both CPR and suicide prevention, you will be ready to apply for an original Indiana license.
Instructions on how to apply:
About every seven to ten years, the state updates the requirements to earn an Indiana teacher license. The rules for those requirements are often referred to by the law that was enacted to update the requirements. Since August 23, 2018, the current licensing rules are referred to as REPA3.
Please contact Jim Beard with any questions.
