Teacher Evaluation System in Ohio

Ohio's new system for evaluating teachers will provide educators with a richer and more detailed view of their performance, with a focus on specific strengths and opportunities for improvement. The new system relies on two key evaluation components, each weighted at 50 percent: a rating of teacher performance (based on classroom observations and other factors), and a rating of student academic growth.

Understanding the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System

Module 1 - Ohio Teacher Evaluation System FrameworkDescribes components of the teacher evaluation framework adopted by the State Board of Education in 2011.

Module 2 - Ohio Teacher Evaluation System Model: Supports implementation of the teacher evaluation system by explaining the elements of OTES that support teacher professional development.

    Model Board Policy (UPDATED 05/09/2013)

    The ODE model board policy reflects recent changes contained in HB 153 and SB 316 and complies with Ohio Revised Code. Local boards are not required to adopt the ODE model policy – boards can use it as a guide, adopt portions or use the entire document.
