What is the Indiana Mentoring and Assessment Program (IMAP)?
The Indiana Mentoring and Assessment Program is a two-year program consisting of support and mentoring during the first year and portfolio assessment completed during the second year. IMAP is a requirement under the Indiana Department of Education Division of Professional Standards Rules 2002 licensure framework. Beginning teachers, administrators, and school services personnel participate in the two-year mentoring and assessment program when they receive an initial practitioner license, which is valid for two years. Upon successful completion of IMAP, the license is changed to a five-year proficient practitioner license.
