[§ 3319.22.7] § 3319.227. Teaching up to two years in area or grade level outside license or certificate.
This section does not apply to any classroom teacher required to be a highly qualified teacher pursuant to
section 3319.074 [3319.07.4] of the Revised Code.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this chapter or in any educator licensing rule adopted by the state board of education under authority granted under this chapter, any individual who holds an educator license issued under
section 3319.22 of the Revised Code or a teacher's certificate issued under former section 3319.22 of the Revised Code that has continuing effect under
section 3319.222 [3319.22.2] of the Revised Code may be employed to teach for up to two school years in a grade level or in a subject or teaching area for which the individual's license or certificate is not valid, as long as the individual agrees that during that time the individual will enroll in, attend, and complete coursework required by rule of the state board for licensure to teach in that grade level or in that subject or teaching area. The necessary coursework may be completed through classes developed and offered by regional professional development providers, such as special education regional resource centers, regional professional development centers, educational service centers, local education agencies, professional organizations, and institutions of higher education, provided the coursework is taken for credit in collaboration with a college or university that has a teacher education program approved by the state board. No person shall teach in a grade level or subject or teaching area under this section beyond two years until the person has completed all coursework and tests prescribed by the state board for licensure in that grade level or subject or teaching area.
