Title II of the Higher Education Act (1998) requires that all institutions engaged in teacher preparation to report information on how the institution performed based on annual data from a national testing company.
Passing Rates of Certificatin/Licensure ExaminationsFor initial certification/licensure in the State of Ohio, individuals must pass PRAXIS II examinations. This series of tests, developed by the Educational Testing Service, include professional knowledge and the content knowledge test(s) for the specific certificate/license being sought. In the 1999-2000 academic year, 508 individuals completed teacher education programs at Ohio University. Ninety-three percent (93%) of these program completers passed all the PRAXIS II exams that they were required to take.

Decisions regarding the retention of teacher education students in licensure programs will be made through a continual quarterly evaluation of progress in coursework, clinical experiences, and field-based experiences. Evaluation criteria will be directly related to the specific knowledge, skill, attitude, and value objectives associated with each experience. There are three selection phases in this process, two of which are described below. The third phase is detailed under " Student Teaching."You may appeal a decision regarding admission or retention by filing an appeal with the Credential Review Committee.

Students are required to have an accumulative g.p.a. of 2.75, and to have a 2.75 or higher in the field(s) for which licensure is sought.Teaching Licenses
If you plan to teach in Ohio, you will apply for a teaching license one month before completing the required classes. Before you will be licensed to teach, passing scores for the Praxis II exam must be reported to Student Services in the College of Education. You also need a 2.75 overall g.p.a. and a 2.75 g.p.a in each field for which licensure is sought. Applications may be obtained from Student Services, McCracken Hall 124, or your regional campus student services office. The license is issued by the State Department of Education and qualifies you to teach the subjects indicated on the license.To be recommended by Ohio University for licensure, you must have a level of preparation in your major area of specialization that corresponds with the outline on the preceding and following pages, even though these requirements in many instances exceed those shown in the state licensure regulations.
Completion of requirements for graduation and of the professional courses required for licensure does not ensure that you will be recommended for licensure. Instructors in various courses, especially in courses in education and student teaching, will evaluate your fitness for the teaching profession in ways other than observation of academic performance in the classroom. Limitations that might impair your effectiveness as a teacher in the public schools will be made a part of your record. When you apply for a license, this record will be examined and your fitness for teaching given further consideration.
All students applying for a teaching license must undergo a background check by the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI). The State Department of Education will not issue a new license until it receives a copy of the background check from the BCI. This requirement includes:
1Those applying for their first license Those who have a license but are applying for an additional license
If you are applying for an endorsement or validation, you will not need to undergo a background check.
If you are not planning to teach in Ohio, familiarize yourself with the requirements specified by the state in which you expect to teach.
Once you are issued a two-year provisional license, you are required to complete the Entry Year Program and Performance Based Assessment in order to be eligible for a five-year professional license.
Out-of-State Licensure and Reciprocity
Many states have licensure guidelines that allow all NCATE-accredited colleges to recommend students for licensure. Our NCATE accreditation allows the College of Education to recommend qualified students for teacher licensure in many other states. If you need to obtain licensure outside Ohio, contact the Department of Education in the appropriate state to obtain an application and learn if additional tests or courses are required. Your out-of-state application should be sent to Student Services, McCracken Hall.
Currently, the state of Ohio participates in the Interstate Agreement on Qualification of Educational Personnel and has entered into an implementation contract with the following states:
Alabama Montana Alaska Nebraska Arizona New Hampshire Arkansas New Jersey California New York Connecticut North Carolina Delaware Oklahoma District of Columbia Oregon Florida Pennsylvania Georgia Rhode Island Hawaii South Carolina Idaho South Dakota Illinois Tennessee Indiana Utah Kansas Vermont Kentucky Virginia Maine Washington Maryland West Virginia Massachusetts Wisconsin Michigan Mississippi
Changes in Ohio state standards for teacher licensure may affect future reciprocal agreements.
Partnerships
In conjunction with public schools in southeastern Ohio, the College of Education has developed several partnerships. Partnership programs provide increased field experience opportunities for preservice teachers to learn with, and from, experienced teachers. Partnership schools support and encourage ongoing professional development for faculty and administrators. Current partnerships exist with The Plains, Federal Hocking, and Chauncey.Placement

Required General Education Courses (45 hours)
In addition to the following program requirements, you also must complete Ohio University's General Education Requirements. Consult with your advisor to plan a course of study that will meet both sets of requirements.You must meet departmental prerequisites for all classes if you are seeking licensure. For example, you must take and pass PSY 101 with a minimum grade of C before taking any 200 level education course.
If two courses in each field do not add up to a total of 45 hours, you must elect sufficient hours in one or a combination of the following areas to bring the total hours in general education courses to 45 hours.
If your major is the same as one of the areas below, 10 hours of the major may be counted toward the corresponding general education field as well as the major. For example, if your major is integrated language arts, 10 hours of English may count toward the 45-hour total of general education courses and toward Field 4, below, which is English and/or Foreign Language.
No more than six hours of PED activity courses may be counted toward the degree except for majors in physical eduation, and none may count toward general education.
Science and Mathematics
You are required to complete at least one course in science and one course in mathematics. Appropriate science courses are astronomy, chemistry, physics, plant biology, biological science, physical science, geological sciences, and PSY 226, 312, and 314. Any course in the Department of Mathematics, except 101, 102, or 320L, is acceptable for the mathematics requirement. Also, all Tier I quantitative skills courses count toward the mathematics requirement. Computer science courses do not satisfy this requirement.
Comparative Arts and/or Philosophy
You are required to complete at least two courses in this area. The two courses need not be in one field. Possibilities include any courses in the Department of Philosophy (except PHIL 120) or School of Comparative Arts; HUM 107, 108, 109, 307, 308, and 309; theater history courses; Art History; Art except for ART 360, 461, 461L, 462; School of Music courses except for music education courses, music therapy courses, and the one- or two-hour participation courses.
Social Sciences
You are required to complete at least two courses in social sciences. The two courses need not be in the same field. PSY 101, which is required, is included as one of the social sciences courses. Other possibilities include any course in anthropology, economics, economic history, political science, sociology, social work, geography, and psychology, except PSY 120, 226, 275, 312, and 314.
