(A) An alternative resident educator
		  license issued pursuant to section 3319.26 of the Revised Code and rule
		  3301-24-19 of the Administrative Code may be renewed upon verification that the
		  license holder meets the requirements specified in paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(5)
		  of this rule.
(1) The following
			 requirements specified in section 3319.26 of the Revised Code and rule
			 3301-24-19 of the Administrative Code are to be completed during the initial
			 four-year validity period of the alternative resident educator license in order
			 to qualify for license renewal, including:
(a) Successful completion of the state board of education
				examination for teacher licensure that measures professional knowledge pursuant
				to rule 3301-24-19 of the Administrative Code, and
(b) Successful completion of the additional coursework
				requirements specified in paragraphs (C)(3) and (C)(4) of rule 3301-24-19 of
				the Administrative Code.
(2) For a currently
			 expiring alternative resident educator license, renewal shall require
			 completion of three semester hours of coursework related to classroom teaching
			 and/or the area of licensure completed since the issuance of the alternative
			 resident educator license to be renewed, in addition to meeting the
			 requirements specified in paragraphs (A)(1)(a) and (A)(1)(b) of this
			 rule.
(3) Renewal of an
			 alternative resident educator license that has expired shall require completion
			 of six semester hours of coursework related to classroom teaching and/or the
			 area of licensure completed since the issuance of the alternative resident
			 educator license to be renewed, in addition to meeting the requirements
			 specified in paragraphs (A)(1)(a) and (A)(1)(b) of this rule.
(4) Coursework for the
			 renewal of an alternative resident educator license is to be completed at an
			 accredited institution of higher education, defined in rule 3301-24-01 of the
			 Administrative Code as a degree granting institution accredited at the college
			 level by an accrediting agency that is recognized by the United States
			 secretary of education. All coursework completed for alternative resident
			 educator license renewal should lead to new knowledge in the classroom and be
			 related to student achievement.
(5) The increased amount
			 of coursework associated with renewing an expired license will not apply
			 provided that the license holder completes the currently required amount of
			 coursework and submits a renewal application by October first of the year that
			 the alternative resident educator license expires.
(B) An alternative resident educator
		  license issued pursuant to section 3319.26 of the Revised Code and rule
		  3301-24-19 of the Administrative Code may be extended on a case-by-case basis,
		  subject to paragraphs (B)(1) to (B)(4) of this rule, to enable the license
		  holder to complete the Ohio teacher residency program established under section
		  3319.223 of the Revised Code.
(1) The following
			 requirements specified in section 3319.26 of the Revised Code and rule

			 to qualify for license extension, including:
(a) Successful completion of the state board of education
				examination for teacher licensure that measures professional knowledge pursuant
				to rule 3301-24-19 of the Administrative Code, and
(b) Successful completion of the additional coursework
				requirements specified in paragraphs (C)(3) and (C)(4) of rule 3301-24-19 of
				the Administrative Code.
(2) If an alternative
			 resident educator license holder has completed less than two years of the
			 teacher residency program ("Ohio Resident Educator Program")
			 described in section 3319.223 of the Revised Code and rule 3301-24-04 of the
			 Administrative Code at the expiration of the resident educator license, the
			 license holder is to apply for a renewal of a resident educator license rather
			 than applying for a license extension.
(3) If an alternative
			 resident educator license holder has already obtained two one-year license
			 extensions pursuant to section 3319.26 of the Revised Code, and at the
			 conclusion of that license extension still has not completed at least three
			 years of the Ohio resident educator program, then the license holder must meet
			 requirements for and be issued a renewal of an alternative resident educator
			 license rather than continuing to apply for license extensions.
(4) If an alternative
			 resident educator license holder has already obtained four one-year license
			 extensions pursuant to section 3319.22 of the Revised Code, and at the
			 conclusion of that license extension still has not completed the Ohio resident
			 educator program, then the license holder is to apply for renewal of an
			 alternative resident educator license rather than continuing to apply for
			 license extensions.
