Ohio's Alternative Resident Educator License
Ohio's Alternative Resident Educator License
Educator for All's Professional Development Institute (PDI) supports teachers pursuing an Ohio five-year professional teaching license through the Alternative Resident Educator pathway. You are eligible to register for PDI if you hold a current or expired Alternative Resident Educator License issued by the State Board of Education of Ohio.
Educator for All's Professional Development Institute (PDI) is approved by the Ohio Department of Higher Education. The PDI content is delivered online, ensuring consistency in information, activities, and assessments. Using an asynchronous model, participants can access training materials 24/7 without needing to be online at the same time as other participants or the instructor. Participants can submit assignments at their own pace, communicate with the instructor, and seek technical support through an online messaging system. The instructor provides feedback on assignments to help participants demonstrate competency for each skill. Participants may revise and resubmit their work within their registration period.
Participants registered in Educator for All's Professional Development Institute (PDI) are responsible for fully engaging with the online content, carefully reviewing support materials, completing all activities and assignments, and submitting electronic assessments. The PDI is delivered online in a self-paced format, and participants should expect to spend approximately 150 seat hours to complete the training, equivalent to 12 semester hours. The registration period is one year (365 days), providing ample time to complete the 25 competency-based assessments at their own pace. A transcript and a PDI Certificate of Completion for the State Board of Education of Ohio are issued on successful completion.
Our Professional Development Institute provides competency-based content, enabling participants to develop and demonstrate the skills required to meet the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession.
