The teacher leader endorsement program is available to any students who already have an Ohio teaching license. The endorsement program is nine credit hours and affords those who complete the Ohio teacher leadership endorsement to extend their professional opportunities in the field of education while remaining a classroom teacher. The program is designed to be completely online and to be a real-time integration of students’ learning and professional work as students will be able to apply course concepts as they work in their school settings. The endorsement program is rooted in respect and concern for all and focuses on teacher leadership as a way to serve the school community as it works to provide improved outcomes for K-12 students.
