Historical Note

Examinations for teachers in Indiana had occurred since 1824 but there were no statewide standards. The first step to uniformity in teacher examinations in Indiana took place in 1865 with the specifications of what applicants should be tested on and the lengths of licenses were fixed. There were four grades of licenses issued, six, twelve, eighteen, and twenty-four months up until 1883 when the eighteen month license was dropped and the six month license was changed to a trial license. Testing and licensing of teachers was performed in each county and directed by the County Superintendent.
