Computer Science Temporary Licensure
As part of Ohio's effort to increase computer science education, Ohio has made permanent the provision that allows a school district, community school, or STEM school to permit an individual who holds a valid educator license in any of grades kindergarten through twelve to teach a computer science course. This is possible if, prior to teaching the course, the individual completes a professional development program, approved by the district superintendent or school principal, that provides content knowledge specific to the course the individual will teach.
This provision allows the individual to teach a computer science course in a school district or school that employed the individual at the time the individual completed the professional development program.
The superintendent or principal shall approve any professional development program endorsed by the organization that creates and administers the national Advanced Placement examinations as appropriate for the course the individual will teach.

  *   The superintendent or principal MUST approve any College Board professional development.
  *   The superintendent or principal MAY approve any other professional development.
To ensure all data is reported accurately and to provide schools, districts, and the public with an accurate picture of how your district is serving students, the Department has created the Computer Science Eligibility Verification Form<https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fforms.office.com%2Fg%2FfPpRj9KqjE/1/0100019adf8b8a11-d881dccf-7fdf-494b-9d6c-d01b85c1c3bc-000000/QP8bMagmCaF5yQ0RFU64tscO5zk8GJpITqzO8dXY8Ak=433> for reporting the computer science courses and teacher professional development that was completed. The deadline for the Computer Science Eligibility Verification for the FY 2026 school year is December 31, 2025.
Please contact computerscience at education.ohio.gov<mailto:computerscience at education.ohio.gov> with any questions.
