Adolescence to Young Adult Education (AYA, 7-12)
Teacher Education Programs
Adolescence to Young Adult (AYA, 7-12) and Multi-Age (PreK-12) teacher education students usually earn a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. Other degree options are available; consult the university catalog.
The Adolescence to Young Adult (AYA, 7-12) programs lead to an Ohio two-year Resident Educator License valid for the teaching area(s) completed. The Adolescence to Young Adult teaching license may be used to teach the listed subjects in grades 7 to 12.
Teachers with Adolescence to Young Adult licenses may teach in middle schools if the school is organized by academic departments.
Program Description
The basic program outline, including the general education and professional education course requirements for the Adolescence to Young Adult teacher education program are listed below.
Please note it’s important to follow the university catalog for major requirements; teacher education courses and the major courses are different.
Advising
Meeting with your advisor is essential for staying on track with university and teacher preparation program requirements. Reach out to your advisor each semester and be sure to communicate your plans for when you want to student teach. Your entire program should be organized around the student teaching semester.
