OPES 2.0

The OPES 2.0 Framework sets forth the components of administrator evaluations for Ohio’s districts.  The OPES 2.0 model provides implementation procedures and suggested best practices, which Ohio districts may implement when evaluating administrators. 

The Administrator Performance Evaluation Rubric is to be scored holistically. This means evaluators will assess which level provides the best overall description of the administrator.

After assessing the current state of the principalship in Ohio, the principal workgroup identified five areas in which Ohio can map a route for improving principal effectiveness: 

1. Education and preparation for serving in the principal role;

2. Recruitment and job seeking; 

3. Assignment to appropriate settings; 

4. Supportive experiences; 

5. Ongoing professional development and supports.
