The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) requires the PRAXIS II examination for teacher licensure. Students must take the Principles of Learning and Teaching at the appropriate age level and the prescribed specialty area test for their concentration. A specialty test is required for each area to be added to a license. Information about the required tests and qualifying scores is available on the ODE Web site at http://www.ode.state.oh.us/GD/Templates/Pages/ODE/ODEDetail.aspx?Page=3&TopicRelationID=516&ContentID=12814&Content=43563
