Additional information and requisites for Ohio Licensure
The authority to license teachers is a responsibility entrusted to the State. When candidates graduate from 麻豆传媒色情片's state-approved Teacher Education Program, they are eligible to earn an initial Ohio (Resident Educator) License. This license is effective July 1 of the year of graduation and is valid for 4 years. Should candidates complete their studies at the end of Fall Semester, they may request that licenses be backdated to July 1 so they can teach on the license the remainder of the school year.
Students are required to have valid State and Federal background clearance checks (Ohio BCI&I and FBI) in effect at the time of application for license. These reports must be initiated prior to the student teaching term and are valid for one year from the date of the initial check. Candidates are provided with information about the acquisition of these reports at the beginning of their final year. Additionally, the state of Ohio requires that students take and pass content and educational pedagogy tests appropriate to the licensure program they are completing. More information about these state-required tests are provided to students as they begin their last year in the program.
Upgrading their initial license to a professional license in Ohio requires an individual to successfully complete the Resident Educator Program upon employment with a school district. The Resident Educator Program includes Instructional Mentoring from a trained mentor and a system of formative assessments. The mentor and superintendent will then sign the Resident Educator's application for a professional license, completing the transition to a five-year professional license.
Procedure for Applying for Ohio Licensure
Application for the Ohio Resident Educator License is generally made during Spring Semester of the senior year or when all requirements have been met. A meeting is scheduled early each Fall Semester for purposes of explaining procedures for applying for teacher licenses.
All candidates who complete requirements for teacher licensure are encouraged to apply for that license, even if they are not sure they will pursue a teaching position after graduation. Delay in applying for teaching licensure may result in additional coursework if licensure requirements change after candidates graduate.
