Licensure Examinations
To qualify for licensure in the state of Ohio, candidates must earn passing scores on the appropriate state-required licensure examinations in terms of both content and professional knowledge. For all areas except Multi-Age World Languages, the Ohio Assessments for Educators (OAE) fulfills the state's requirement. For World Language, candidates must also earn passing scores on the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) and Writing Proficiency Test (WPT). Currently, there is no assessment for Latin.
Updated educator license examination requirements are available on the State Board of Education website. Exam registration and preparation materials are available at the Ohio Assessments for Educators and Language Testing International websites.
Please consult an academic advisor before registering for any state mandated teacher licensure assessment.
