Educator Disposition

Department of Professional Education and Music Testing Requirements

Becoming a teacher in Ohio requires demonstrating competencies and abilities in basic academic skills (reading, writing, and mathematics), program content, and teaching strategies in a specified grade band. Students admitted to the Educator Preparation Program must take and pass all Ohio Assessments for Educators (OAE) before student teaching. Passing required OAEs are required to receive a teaching license in Ohio.
