2-Year Provisional Licensure Renewal Questions

Hello everyone,

I have some questions about Ohio licensure, continuing education, and master’s degrees in education. I apologize in advance for the lengthy post and amount of information.

I have some questions about Ohio licensure, continuing education, and master’s degrees in education. I apologize in advance for the lengthy post and amount of information.

I graduated in June of 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree (Early Childhood Education). I passed my Praxis II in November of 2003 and my two-year provisional License was issued on March 31, 2004. My license was valid from July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2006.

After completing my degree and receiving my licensure, I moved out of the country. I have lived in Seoul, South Korea for the past five years. During this time I taught two years of kindergarten and three years of first grade. I worked for two different accredited English speaking schools that required their teachers to have degrees in education and licensure just as they would in America. I taught a mixture of American and Canadian content standards.

I am now planning to return to America in March of 2010 (possibly 2011) and continue teaching in Ohio. Regrettably, I have let my two-year provisional license expire. From what I have read, I have up to five years from the expiration date to renew this. This would include taking six credit hours of coursework relevant to my degree, paying a processing fee, and filling out renewal paperwork.

Here are some questions I have about my situation:

1.) How do I know which continuing education classes would be acceptable to fill these requirements for my degree? Can they be any education related class?

2.) After graduating in 2003, I took a few classes for my master’s in ECE. However, I have not pursued my master’s any further. Do classes taken for a master’s degree (perhaps in fields unrelated to ECE, such as ESL) count towards these six credit hours of continuing education?

3.) Do the classes have to be completed before I apply for a licensure renewal? Or could I apply first and then take the classes?

4.) Can I still substitute teach with an expired licensure?

5.) Will the five years I taught in South Korea be recognized as steps on the teaching pay scale in Ohio (or perhaps other places in the U.S.)?

6.) I am keen to begin my master’s again, but this time possibly in another concentration other than ECE. Is it possible to continue to teach in the PreK-3rd grade area, receive my master’s in another education specialty, and still be recognized as being on the master’s degree pay scale?

Again, I'm sorry for the amount of questions. I would greatly appreciate any insight anyone may be able to give me. Thank you!

Hello,

I work with teachers everyday on getting there licenses re- newed so I hope this helps a little. I would also suggest calling the DOE to get a little more information.

You must complete your 6 semester credits before you re-apply. You can still teach as a sub before you get your license back because you hold a bachelors degree. You can take any courses that relates to your degree only if they are upper level or graduate courses.

Feel free to email me with any other questions.

Educating teachers who never leave the classroom

It is time for teachers to know how our NEA union has used us for political gain.

* NEA is America's largest labor union * Advocates leftist positions on a host of issues, including abortion, sex education, teen pregnancy, school prayer, socialized medicine, affordable housing, drug testing, prisoner rights, bilingual education, global warming, and health care * Opposes merit pay for teachers * Opposes school vouchers * Ranks among the leading funders of the Democratic Party * Has contributed vast sums to many leftwing organizations

Based in Washington, DC, the 3.1 million-member National Education Association (NEA) is the largest labor union in the United States. It represents public school teachers and support personnel; faculty and staffers in colleges and universities; retired educators; and college students preparing to become teachers. The NEA’s mission is “to advocate for education professionals and to unite our members and the nation to fulfill the promise of public education to prepare every student to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world.”

The NEA pursues these goals through its 14,000+ local affiliate organizations (which are active in fundraising, conducting professional workshops, and negotiating teacher contracts); its 51 state affiliates (which “lobby legislators for the resources schools need”); and its Washington, DC-based national headquarters (which “lobbies Congress and federal agencies on behalf of its members and public schools, supports and coordinates innovative projects, works with other education organizations and friends of public education, [and] provides training and assistance to its affiliates”).

The NEA was founded in 1850 as the National Teachers Association, and adopted its present name in 1857. Promoting government-owned public schools and “modern” pedagogical ideas, this union permitted no private school teachers to join its ranks. These government-owned-and-run schools were modeled on statist European education in Prussia, and attracted socialist activist teachers who saw public school students as perfect subjects for re-engineering society. That remolding began with the anti-Catholic objectives of Horace Mann (1796-1859) and expanded to the anti-religious humanism of John Dewey (1859-1952).

In a 1935 report presented at the 72nd annual NEA convention, the union's future Executive Secretary Willard Givens wrote: “A dying laissez-faire must be completely destroyed and all of us … must be subjected to a large degree of social control…. The major function of the school is the social orientation of the individual. It must seek to give him understanding of the transition to a new social order.”

In a 2003 article titled “NEA Hastens Death of American Education,” veteran journalist Ralph de Toledano wrote that in 1938 “the Institute for Social Research, founded by the Comintern, appeared on the Columbia University campus, taking over the Teachers College, the country’s most influential school of education.” “Better known as the Frankfurt School,” de Toledano continued, “… [the Institute] eschewed the economic aspects of Marxism and promulgated a substitute based on Marx’s 1843 preachments. Later labeled neo-Marxism, the program called for the destruction of religion, the family, education and all moral values, along with the capture of the intellectuals and the instruments of mass communication such as the press, radio and films. To this it appended a new Freudianism, which reduced human relationships to rampant sexuality and the grossest pleasure principles -- -- as "an inspiration" to "every organizer" and "anyone contemplating action in their community."

Unfortunately, I have. I was passed over at the end of last school year for a position this year in favor of a brand new (cheaper) graduate with only student teaching experience (which, as you know is not really experience at all). I was so ticked,,,,but being here in wonderful NE Ohio, have decided that the system just sucks and unless you know the right people or have a family member who donates massive amounts of money to a school, you have no chance.

Full day Kindergarten next year ????

by Kb

Nov 11, 2009

I am curious about other district's plans for full day Kindergarten for next school year. Our district has no ongoing study or plans to implement according to our principal. We are building 2 new elementaries and neither one has rooms for the added Kindergartens. I believe districts have a 1 yr. waiver. Is your district making plans?
