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. 

This course is for all new OTES 2.0 evaluators. Those who have previously held an OTES 2.0 credential that is expired/expiring only need to retake the credentialing assessment.
