For those of you who will not graduate with your teaching license and aren't really sure about how you want to get your license, I found an interesting option. When I applied to TFA I knew that it was a way for me to get my initial teaching license. But since I wasn't accepted (not sure if I am going to apply again), I am looking for other options. I'm hoping that I can get in to OSU's master's program, but since it is very competitive I am looking for back up plans. I've looked at Capital and Ashland's post-bachelor's programs, but it looks like I would have to go for three semesters- which isn't something I'm looking forward to.
I was talking to my brother and he was telling me about the Ohio Alternative Educator License. To earn the alternative license you must complete an Intensive Pedagogical Training Institute (IPTI) which lasts only six months. All of your coursework is online and you need 15 hours of field experience. I think this is a really great option for those who just want to start teaching and don't necessarily want to get their master's right away. And it only costs $200 for the IPTI and $25 for the application fee! Check out the link to find out more about the requirements and assignments you would do for IPTI.
