Professional Development Event

The Ohio Teacher Evaluation System 2.0 training is required for evaluators who are new to OTES to address shifts with OTES 2.0 and to lead to a pathway that leads to OTES 2.0 re-credentialing with the objectives of:

1) Promoting an understanding of the procedures within OTES 2.0 and how they differ from OTES 1.0.

2) Promoting an understanding and application of the OTES 2.0 teacher performance rubric while learning to collect evidence that demonstrates teacher performance.

3) Applying lessons learned and best practices from OTES 2.0 implementation to date.

4) Learning about and identifying High-Quality Student Data (HQSD).

Upon completion of the OTES 2.0 Evaluator Training, evaluators (participants) may credential through the new online credentialing system. The OTES 2.0 Evaluator Training will provide a better understanding of the OTES 2.0 Framework and Model, allow practice of skills, and allow for sharing of resources and best practices in educator evaluation.

Do you sometimes start to teach a mathematics concept and feel like you are staring at a sea of bewildered faces? What happens when you discover that students previously learned a calculation trick or a mnemonic that has muddied their long-term understanding? When “rules” seem to change from year to year, teacher to teacher, or school to school, mathematics can seem like a disconnected mystery for students. Clear up the confusion with a mathematics whole-school agreement!

Expanded from the highly popular “Rules That Expire” series of NCTM articles, this essential guide leads educators through the collaborative step-by-step process of establishing a coherent and consistent learner-centered and equitable approach to mathematics instruction. Through this work, you will identify, streamline, and become passionate about using clear and consistent mathematical language, notations, representations, rules, and generalizations within and across classrooms and grades. Importantly, you will learn to avoid “rules that expire”—tricks that may seem to help students in one grade but hurt in the long run.

Student success starts with attendance and engaged learning, either in-person or remotely. As Ohio recovers from the negative effects of the pandemic, many families still struggle with getting students to school consistently and transitioning back to in-person learning. Students who are absent from school miss important learning opportunities, which can be difficult or even impossible to make up. The goal of the Understanding and Using Attendance Data for Improvement is to help educators, school leaders, and district leaders understand and use attendance data for improvement.
