    Indicators of Teaching Effectiveness

    The State Board of Education values the importance of promoting educator professional growth that leads to improved instructional performance and student learning. OTES is a professional growth model is intended to be used to continually assist educators in enhancing teacher performance. An effective professional growth model considers a teacher’s instructional strengths while supporting identified areas for improvement according to the profile of each educator. This process is to be collaborative, ongoing, and supportive of the professional growth of the teacher.

    Ohio's system for evaluating teachers is research-based and designed to be transparent, fair, and adaptable to the specific contexts of Ohio’s districts (rural, urban, suburban, large, and small). The evaluation system builds on what educators know about the importance of ongoing assessment and feedback as a powerful vehicle to support improved practice. The state of Ohio masks results when there are fewer than 3 in a category.

    Principal Evaluations

    Principal Evaluations The State Board of Education values the importance of promoting administrator1 professional growth that leads to improved leadership practices and student learning. An effective professional growth framework considers an administrator’s leadership strengths while supporting identified areas for improvement within each administrator’s school environment or work context. The Ohio Principal Evaluation System (OPES) 2.0 is collaborative, ongoing, and supportive of the professional growth of the administrator.

    Measure 2: (Initial and Advanced) Satisfaction of Employers and stakeholders involvement (Components R4.2 | R5.3 | RA.4.1)

    The Ohio Resident Educator Program began in 2011 and is a comprehensive, four-year initiative to assist beginning teachers with mentoring and professional development as they start their education careers. The Resident Educator Program is designed to improve teacher retention, enhance teacher quality, and result in improved student achievement. The Ohio Resident Educator Program can be envisioned as a professional pathway to continued professional learning, leading educators to more effective practices and excellence in teaching. Ohio Revised Code 3319.223 and Ohio Administrative Code 3301-24-04 provide the basis for the Ohio Resident Educator Program and the requirement to pass the Resident Educator Summative Assessment (RESA) successfully. When teachers successfully complete program requirements, including the RESA component, they become eligible for a professional teaching license.

    Milestone: Of the 42 2nd and 3rd year Â鶹´«Ã½ graduates that took RESA in the 2019/2020 school year, the pass rate remains at 100% for all those matriculating through the Education programs at Â鶹´«Ã½.

    In 2021, of the 35 - 2nd and 3rd year Â鶹´«Ã½ graduates that took RESA in the 2020/2021 school year, the pass rate remains at 100% for all those matriculating through the Education programs at Â鶹´«Ã½.

    In the 2022 school year, of the 37 - 2nd and 3rd-year Â鶹´«Ã½ graduates that took RESA in the 2021-2022 school year, the pass rate remains at 100% for all those matriculating through the Education programs at Â鶹´«Ã½.

    In the 2023 school year, 44 second and third-year Â鶹´«Ã½ graduates took RESA. The pass rate was 98%.

    State records and data represent only one way that Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s programs assess Candidate success. Â鶹´«Ã½ also reviews field placement performance and satisfaction surveys by alumni and student teacher supervisors. This information helps programs decide where programs are strong or need greater emphasis.

    Alumni Responses – this survey reaches out to graduates currently teaching in their field and asks about their satisfaction with how prepared they were to enter into their professional careers.

    University Supervisor Surveys – these surveys ask the University Supervisors about the mentoring ability of the Clinical Educators (k-12 teachers)

    Clinical Educator Surveys - These surveys ask our K-12 partners about their experiences with Â鶹´«Ã½ Student Teachers

    Principal Internship Survey – this questionnaire is produced by the Ohio Department of Higher Education and collected by ODHE – This examines the candidates’ view of their program.

    Principal Mentor Survey – this questionnaire is produced by the Ohio Department of Higher Education and collected by ODHE. This examines the candidates’ view of their mentor.

    EdTPA Test Results

    • EDTPA data 8-18 to 6-23
      • The state of Ohio does not set a minimum number of points for candidates to pass this instrument. However, they do provide encouragement through a candidate’s ability to waive the OAE APK test if the candidate scores a 37 or higher.
      • EDTPA 2023-2024 had a mean score of 39, with a high score of 46.

      Satisfaction of Completers:

      The Resident Educator survey compiled by the Ohio Department of Higher Education looks at New Teacher satisfaction with their preparation. We have included the questionnaire and the latest results.

      • Resident Educator Survey – Initial Licensure   Survey scale is 1 =Strongly Disagree; 2= Disagree; 3= Agree; 4= Strongly Agree.
      • The survey consists of 50 questions provided to teachers related to their opinion of their teacher preparation program

      In 2019, the mean of the responses was 3.18 with a range of 2.3 being the lowest score and 3.66 represented multiple times as the high score. Overall, most of the candidates felt they were prepared to enter into the teaching profession. The lowest score represented the teachers’ knowledge of the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession. In response, this module was added to a senior seminar prior to student teaching, when candidates would value this knowledge.

      In 2020, the mean of the responses was 3.69, with a range of 3 being the lowest score and 4’s being the top of the range. Former Â鶹´«Ã½ candidates unanimously agree that they were well prepared to enter into the teaching profession.

      In 2021, the mean of the responses was 3.7, with a range of 3.40 being the lowest score and 3.97 at the top of the range. Former Â鶹´«Ã½ candidates unanimously agree that they were well prepared to enter into the teaching profession.

      In 2022, the mean of the responses was 3.5, with a range of 2.8 being the lowest score and 3.71 being the most repeated mean, and 3.87 a the top of the range. Former Â鶹´«Ã½ candidates unanimously agree that they were well prepared to enter teaching.

      In 2023, the mean of the responses was 3.8, with the range of 3.0 as the lowest and multiple 4.0's at the top of the range. Â鶹´«Ã½ graduates continue to agree that they are well prepared to enter teaching.

      The results of these surveys show new teachers trained at Â鶹´«Ã½ overall believe that their training equipped them to walk into the classroom as well-prepared teachers. The means in each year exceed the state-published mean of all university programs.
