How to Become a Teacher in Ohio
Now there is more than one way to become a teacher in Ohio.
American Board’s program became available in Ohio in November 2018. This addition of an alternative path to teacher certification was in response to the growing teacher shortage. States that offer American Board’s program provided strong evidence that alternatively trained teachers perform just as well as traditionally trained teachers.
The Department of Education created American Board in 2001. Our program is designed for career changers who can’t commit the time or spend the money to go back to school. People living in rural areas can enroll with American Board to get certified. These teachers are valued in schools that have been hit by the teacher shortage. There are thousands of American Board teachers in classrooms across the country.
