Education - Teacher Licensure

Introduction

The Hiram College Teacher Licensure Program is committed to preparing intellectually alive, socially responsible, ethically grounded educational leaders. Since the founding of Hiram College in 1850, students have joined this learning community to be prepared as teachers within the liberal arts tradition. This tradition prepares teachers to think well and with discipline. This tradition, grounded in the understanding that knowledge is interrelated and interdisciplinary, prepares teachers to be keen and critical observers of how the world works—seeing issues, alternatives, solutions, and aspects of life that more narrowly trained minds do not. These skills, combined with knowledge in a subject and in the art and science of teaching, are essential to the preparation of teachers who are ready to serve as educational leaders. The program’s mission, philosophy, and standards for teacher-candidates are included in the Teacher Licensure Policies and Procedures Handbook and can be found on the program website.

Because field and clinical experiences are seen as opportunities for students to acquire and apply knowledge, and as experiences that promote reflection, they are required in most education courses. These field and clinical experiences are developmentally sequenced and range from field trips with observations, to opportunities that require lesson planning, instruction, and evaluation of students. Students must complete this field work in a variety of communities, with students of different ages, and with culturally diverse and exceptional populations.

Based on licensure requirements and state metrics, the Education program reserves the right to limit the number of courses and/or credit hours students may transfer into the teacher licensure program. This includes coursework in the professional education core and the content area(s) selected.

The Teacher Education Program at Hiram College is nationally accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and approved by the Ohio Department of Higher Education to offer licensure in the following areas:

P-5 License, valid for teaching children in pre-kindergarten through grade five. Students completing the coursework required for this license graduate with an elementary education (P-5) major.
Middle Childhood License, valid for teaching learners in grades four through nine in the curriculum areas named in the license. The middle childhood teacher education program includes preparation in areas of concentration in two of the following: reading and language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students completing the middle childhood license graduate with an integrated middle childhood education major.
Adolescence to Young Adult Licenses, valid for teaching learners in grades seven through twelve in the curriculum areas named in such license.

Integrated Language Arts License with a major in integrated language arts
Integrated Social Studies License with a major in integrated social studies
Life Sciences License with a major in biology
Life Sciences/Chemistry License with a major in science
Physical Sciences: Chemistry and Physics License with a major in science

Course requirements for each licensure area can be found on the program website.

A detailed description of all policies and procedures related to admission and retention in the teacher licensure program are included in the Teacher Licensure Policies and Procedures Handbook available on the program website.

Note: Licensure in the state of Ohio requires satisfactory completion of the examinations and performance-based assessments mandated by the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Department of Higher Education. Hiram College Title II pass rates and reports on the quality of teacher education are available on the program website.
