Ohio weighs tougher standards for teachers
Columbus AP lawmakers plan to approve a bill to raise teaching standards in Ohio. The proposal would replace certification with licenses, require 12 semester hours of reading training including phonics, subject-related renewal courses, and a five-year license after completing an entry program. Current teachers could continue until renewal, with higher CE requirements and a master’s degree or 30 graduate credits within 10 years.
