Teacher Leader Endorsement

Program Description:

The Teacher Leader Endorsement Program’s design allows its candidates to complete the program within two terms. The program’s nine semester hours consist of coursework and associated field-based activities. All three 3-hour  endorsement courses are embedded and delivered within the Teacher Leader M.Ed. Program. Endorsement candidates may complete the endorsement program outside the master’s degree program if they have a previous master’s degree. Due to the unique nature of the content and fieldwork, transferring credits for these courses is not considered. In addition, due to the fieldwork required for the endorsement program, it may not be possible for applicants not currently teaching to complete the program requirements. Candidates completing the endorsement program may apply to the Ohio Department of Education for the Teacher Leader Endorsement, a criterion of the Tier 4 Lead Professional Educator License.

Admissions Requirements:
