Intervention Specialist Licensure


Program Description

The Intervention Specialist program leads to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree with licensure in Intervention Specialist:  Mild/Moderate Needs (K-12). Teacher candidates also choose two content concentration areas:
  • Language Arts & Social Studies
  • Language Arts & Mathematics
  • Language Arts & Science
  • Social Studies & Mathematics
  • Social Studies & Science
  • Mathematics and Science
The degree program is designed so that candidates complete general education and content courses as freshmen and sophomores and begin the IS program as juniors as members of a cohort group. The cohort portion of the program consists of three semesters of integrated coursework and field experiences and one semester of student teaching. Specific courses have been included to ensure that candidates develop theoretical and practical knowledge in humanities, mathematics and technology, social sciences, biological and physical sciences, and the arts. Included also are the courses that incorporate multi-cultural and global perspectives in the general education requirements. Candidates likewise take courses that prepare them to work with individuals who are diagnosed with high-incidence disabilities (such as Specific Learning Disabilities, ADHD, Autism, Mild Intellectual and Physical Disabilities, and Emotional/Behavioral Disorders). Persons pursuing a teacher licensure program are also required to complete the Ohio Department of Education prescribed exams for their intended area of licensure.
 
Licensure and certification requirements vary from state to state, and we have not determined if this program meets educational requirements outside of Ohio.  If you are planning to pursue professional licensure or certification in a state other than Ohio, please contact the appropriate licensing entity in that state to seek information and guidance regarding that state’s licensure or certification requirements.
