Educator Licensure Examinations

The successful passing of licensure examinations is part of the credentialing process in Ohio.  These examinations are provided by Educational Testing Service (ETS) and the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL/LTI). 

The Praxis Series TM  is provided by ETS and includes Praxis II, which measures professional, pedagogical and subject-specific knowledge and skills. 

Click here to access the ETS Web site for more information about the Praxis Series TM.

The ACTFL/LTI examinations provide a system of assessing and ensuring the spoken and written language proficiency of candidates for licensure to teach world languages.
