Legislation Removes RESA Requirement from Resident Educator Program
Legislation Removes RESA Requirement from Resident Educator Program
With the passage of House Bill 96, the Resident Educator Summative Assessment (RESA) has been eliminated from the Ohio Resident Educator (RE) Program. Resident educators in their first and second year of teaching must still be registered in the RE Program and complete all the requirements of the RE Program and the requirements developed by the employing local district. Program coordinators must register resident educators and enter completion criteria in the Connected Ohio Records for Educators (CORE) online system for resident educators to advance their resident educator license to a professional license.
Educators who have successfully completed all Resident Educator Program completion criteria except RESA are eligible to advance their resident educator license to a professional license. Note that educators who hold an Alternative Resident Educator license must also complete all other requirements of the Alternative Resident Educator Licensure Pathway before advancing their license.
