The OTES 2.0 process is to be collaborative, ongoing and supportive of the professional growth of the teacher.
Each teacher will be evaluated according to Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Teacher Evaluation Framework, which is aligned with the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession adopted under state law. Using multiple factors set forth in the framework, the teacher’s Final Holistic Rating will be based upon a combination of informal and formal observations and supportive evidence using the Teacher Performance Evaluation Rubric.
Essential components of the full evaluation consist of two formal observations of at least thirty minutes each and at least two classroom walkthroughs:
Professional Growth Plan or Improvement Plan
One Formal Holistic Observation followed by a conference
Walkthroughs – with an emphasis on identified focus area(s)when applicable
One Formal Focused Observation – with an emphasis on identified focus area(s)
One summative conference
Either a Professional Growth Plan or an Improvement Plan will be developed annually. The plan will be based upon the results of the evaluation and aligned to any existing school district or building improvement plan.
