Dear Seniors,
Woo-Hoo - graduation is just around the corner! Whether you are graduating in May or student teaching next fall, you are coming close to the culmination of your experience here at Miami University. Early congrats and keep up the great work until the end!
I want to refresh your memories about taking required tests and applying for your license.
You can take your Ohio Assessments for Educators anytime after your junior year once you have completed both the blocks of courses listed in the advising sheet for the junior year.
You should also take at least one Praxis exam if you plan to stay in Ohio, the Reading Praxis II test, #0204 or #5204 (one is paper & pen, the other computer). Any additional MIDDLE SCHOOL CONTENT AREA test you pass will add to your highly qualified status.
Applying for your license can only occur once your degree is awarded!
Please review the attached documents carefully in order to be fully prepared and licensed upon graduation.
If you plan to transfer your license to another state, go to the website for the Department of Education in that state, and look under licensing or certification for "transferring a license". Each state has different requirements.
Sincerely,
MKE
