August 2023 - OTES 2.0 Initial Credentialing Training

The Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES 2.0) Evaluator Training will prepare an evaluator of teachers, as defined by the role you serve in a Local Educational Agency (LEA), for effective, high quality and consistent staff evaluation using the OTES 2.0 Model. To become a credentialed evaluator of teachers in the State of Ohio, an individual must be properly licensed, or LEA approved as a peer evaluator, participate in the three-day state-sponsored evaluator training, and pass an online credentialing assessment.  Upon successful completion of the training (attendance for all three days of the training is REQUIRED), participants will have access to the online assessment. The three-day state sponsored OTES 2.0 training will provide a better understanding of the OTES 2.0 Framework and Model, allow practice of skills such as scripting, evidence analysis/categorizing and coaching, and allow for sharing of resources and best practices in educator evaluation.

Delivery Method: Virtual (The course will run from August 8th to August 22nd)

All classwork is completed online.

We will have two meetings, lasting one hour each. You may attend virtually or in-person.
