Mastering Teacher Leadership

Background

Ohio legislators recently implemented new standards for those wishing to teach within Ohio's public and private schools. Teachers certified to teach in Ohio in 2002 or later will need to complete a master's degree before obtaining their second licensure renewal. New teachers, therefore, will have a five- to seven-year window to complete the master's degree after their initial licensure to teach.
