Moving from Regular Ed teacher to art

by Sally

Jul 21, 2014

What do I need to do if I want to become an art teacher in Ohio. I am already certified to teach grades K-8 and possess my teaching license. I have a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Education degree. My concentrations for my bachelor's were Natural Sciences and Fine Arts. Thanks!

OTES/OPES question

by How legal is this???

Mar 30, 2014

Classroom teachers have OTES. SPED teachers have OTES. Principals have OPES. Where do district teacher leader positions fall in all of this? We have a district technology coach (a teacher, paid out of teacher funds), a literacy coach (same deal) and a differentiation coach (the gifted teacher now no longer looks at a single kid EVER; she spends her...See More

Licensure Exams

by Bradon

May 6, 2014

Hi, I was hoping to get some clarification on a question I have regarding licensure testing. I took both the Praxis 1 (general knowledge for math, writing, and reading) prior to the implementation of the OAE tests. I also took my Praxis 2 in Chemistry prior to this implementation. I passed all of these tests but did not apply for my Ohio license si...See More

In the Sadness Lies An Opportunity...First Grade Teachers...

by Elizabeth

Jan 23, 2009

Twinsburg City Schools' website has a small announcement about the recent death of one of their teachers. When you do a search under staff you see that she taught first grade. No posting yet on their site about long term sub or full-time teacher to fill the position, but now would be a good time for anyone interested to send a letter and resume.

Hi. I am returning to Ohio after 4 years of teaching in Florida. DOE told me that my certification area was like a gold ticket. Has anyone else with that certification found it easier to find a teaching job? Just curious... Stay Warm! Kathy

barb/Oh I am emplyed in Ohio and found it difficult to find a job because of previous experience. I gave up all my years outside of Ohio to be hired. I had 8 years outside of OHio. I was hired 5 years ago and they had to give me my 4 years of subbing (full time building sub). It kind of stinks, but at least I have a job in a stable district with a nice inc...See More

mike Hi Kathy,

I have the 1-8 certificate and k-12 computer technology. I am a long term substitute now in a computer position and private schools (catholic) like that certificate. I am curious about where you taught at in Florida. I was going to move down there myself in 2005 and 2006 but stayed in northeast ohio. I have no plains on moving do...See More

Out of state Applicant

by Out of State Middle school math

Jan 26, 2009

Hi all,

Okay let's not worry about ODE reciprocity.... I'm curious as to what certification areas would generate the most interest from an Ohio school district?

Lastly, what(if any) school districts would one recommend I send my resume?

view previous comments

CB ...even better than ODE, use maps and your google skills to check for postings on the websites of specific districts. Those are posted and removed pretty quickly, but there's a smaller pool of applicants for those jobs.

Good luck again!

where are you coming from Where do you teach now? What part of Ohio are you looking at? If it is NE Ohio, I would look somewhere else. There are no positions for anyone right now. the shortage of math teachers is a myth here.

Admittedly, I didn't watch Gov. Strickland's speech. I taped it so that I cna watch it WITHOUT my children in the room. LOL. I see that he proposed extending the school year by 20 days. What are your thoughts? Here are mine (without hearing the speech): pros: more time with students is always good more pay - maybe people will realize that our summe...See More

CB Sure, but do all of those industries have state-mandated minimum requirements for employment? That's my only issue with the discrepancy in pay. We are all required to fulfill the same requirements, so I have the same minimum training as any other teacher in Ohio.

I like the forms of multiple assessments, like the senior project. I think its a great idea. I'm all for interdisciplinary learning (thats what I'm into as a business/technology teacher. However....with the class size mandate in grades K-3....class size cap at 15 students....we would have to hire 20 teachers and build a building.

Thats not even including what it would cost to operate a building and pay staff for a month of extra work.

I like what he says about assessments...and 21st century skills would have to include my area (technology)....so that part is good.

I wouldn't care if they extended the school year...just so I was compensated for my work!
