Ohio Teacher Certification Info

Until recently, Ohio required a master's degree for teachers to renew their professional teaching license. That requirement has been dropped, but it still pays to have a master's in the Buckeye State. Teachers typically make more with a master's degree than with a bachelor's alone. In Toledo, for example, a beginning teacher with a master's makes around $1,700 more annually than a teacher without one. Over time, the difference grows to over $5,000 a year, according to the Ohio Department of Education.

Teachers in Ohio are paid well compared to many other states, with salaries averaging in the mid-fifties, or around 50 percent more than the salary of the average Ohio worker.

Ohio is currently experiencing a shortage of qualified teachers for visual and performing arts, English language arts, foreign language, math, science, social studies, and special education.
