As a Franklin student, you’ll be guided through the coursework and prepared for the assessments required to qualify for an Ohio Resident Educator License. Upon your enrollment, you’ll be issued a free Taskstream account to keep you on track as you work to complete the requirements for your degree and intended licensure. With Taskstream, you’ll be able to see when important documentation, like background clearance check information, has been received. You’ll also be able to use Taskstream as a gateway to important information like clinical field placement information and course resources. 

Learn by doing with immersive learning opportunities woven throughout the program

You’ll hit the ground running at Franklin, by starting field experiences with your very first term. Based on your preferences, you’ll be paired with an experienced cooperating teacher to observe teaching methods, ask meaningful questions and provide assistance when requested.

Through clinical field placements and student teaching experiences, you’ll benefit from partnerships between Franklin’s School of Education and more than 200 partner school districts that serve Ohio’s rural areas as well as suburbs, cities and towns. 

The hands-on, full-time student teaching experience in your last term will enable you to work alongside a cooperating teacher to put into practice the knowledge, skills and dispositions that you have developed throughout the course of the program. 

Build the fundamentals necessary to be a successful teacher

All education students, regardless of intended licensure area, must successfully complete 33 hours of Professional Education Component Courses. While these courses can be taken at Franklin or transferred in, this coursework lays the foundation for future studies by providing a roadmap for success as an education major.

Course topics include lesson planning, classroom technology, classroom management and teaching strategies. 

Gain in-demand skills that enable you to leverage technology to engage learners

Technology impacts every industry and every aspect of our lives.

Franklin’s Technology in the Classroom course, a required course for all education students, is aligned with International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards. ISTE, a global organization dedicated to using the power of technology to transform teaching and learning, and the group’s standards are a framework for innovation in education put in place to help you to become a teacher who can prepare students to thrive in a connected and ever-changing world.
