Completion Requirements: The Patton College Professional Development Institute program is offered in two phases (for a total of 15 credit hours). Students must apply to and complete both phases to be eligible for the Alternative Resident Educator License.

Phase 1:

The first phase consists of four self-paced courses specifically designed for alternative licensure candidates. Candidates should refer to the OHIO academic calendar for registration deadlines. Candidates are also encouraged, though not required, to complete the courses during one academic semester. Further, these courses cannot be used toward any Ohio University graduate program. As such, they carry a reduced workshop tuition rate.

PCOE 5916 - Teaching Methodology (3 credits)

PCOE 5917 - Classroom Management and Student Assessment (3 credits)

PCOE 5918 - Reading: Foundations, Instruction, Diagnosis and Intervention, & Reading in the Content Areas (3 credits)

Phase 2:

The second phase covers the Ohio Department of Higher Education Phonics requirement. This course is an Ohio University graduate course that is eligible to be used toward a graduate degree and carries the Ohio University e-campus tuition rate. This course is only offered in the Summer semester. Moreover, because this course is offered to other Ohio University teacher education graduate students, it follows the academic calendar. In other words, this is not a self-paced course. Candidates should ensure they register by the deadline and ensure timely completion of the course.
