OAE Health (023) case studies
OAE Health (023) · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The OAE Health (023) is a subject-matter assessment used in Ohio's educator licensure process for candidates who intend to teach health education. It is typically taken by preservice teachers completing a health education preparation program, by licensed teachers adding a health endorsement, and occasionally by out-of-state applicants seeking Ohio licensure. The test is delivered in a multiple-choice format and samples broadly across the health education field rather than rewarding depth in any single subdiscipline. Expect content spanning health education foundations and professional advocacy; health promotion and disease prevention; nutrition and physical activity; mental and emotional health and stress management; alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention; human development, sexuality, and family life; injury prevention, safety, and emergency response; and instructional planning, assessment, and learning environment. The OAE Health (023) case studies are 5 cases and about 3,292 words.
