Alternative Licensure Professional Development Institute - ALPDI
The Alternative Licensure Professional Development Institute (ALPDI) at 91视频serves new teachers who completed the Ohio Department of Education requirements for an Alternative Resident Educator License. These teachers have two years to complete 15-18 credit hours, depending on their area of licensure, from a state-approved professional development institute.
The 91视频ALPDI program addresses the requirements for this advancement by providing 12 semester credit hours of professional education coursework to prepare teachers in the principles and practices of teaching, student development and learning, assessment procedures, curriculum development, classroom management and teaching methodology. In addition, the Ohio Department of Education requires 3 semester credit hours for a course in the teaching of reading for teachers in licensures other than language arts; English/Language Arts licensure teachers are also required to take a 3-semester credit hour course in phonics.
Applicants must have successfully completed the Intensive Pedagogical Training Institute (IPTI) or an Alternative Resident Educator Institute (AREI) and have been issued an Alternative Resident Educators License. They then have two years to move to an Ohio 5-year Professional License.
Upon completion of the ALPDI, a Certificate of Completion will be issued which may be uploaded to ODE in application to advance the alternative license to a 5-year professional license.

If you plan to pursue licensure or certification in a state other than Ohio, please review state educational requirements for licensure or certification and contact information for state licensing boards at Kent State's website for professional licensure disclosure.
