New Interim Resident Educator License Available
The new 1-Year Interim Resident Educator license is available for the 2025-2026 school year at the request of the employing superintendent or chief administrator of the school, district, or educational service center to candidates who have not successfully completed exam requirements for standard Resident Educator licensure. Both the college or university dean or dean designee at which the applicant completed an Ohio Department of Higher Education approved educator preparation program AND the employing Ohio school, district, or educational service center superintendent, superintendent designee, or credential e-signer must electronically approve the application for the initial license. Eligible candidates are required to have scored at least 208 on the Ohio Assessment for Educators (OAE) content area and Foundations of Reading exams (if required) or Intermediate Mid on the ACTFL OPI and WPT assessments for world languages. Additionally, candidates must pass the state required Ohio Assessment for Educators (OAE) professional knowledge exam or the edTPA for the initial Interim Resident Educator license. Candidates must have current background checks on file with the State Board of Education for their licensure applications to be processed.

Candidates may now opt for a 1-Year Pre-Service Teacher Permit. The 3-Year permit is still available for candidates who need to hold the permit for more than one year. See the Pre-Service Teacher Permit webpage for more information.
