Teacher 2.0
This update of the OLAC OTES crosswalk aligns to the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System 2.0, and helps align on-going educator PD align to the 6 domains of practice by which teachers will be evaluated in the Teacher Performance Evaluation Rubric (p. 20-23, 29).
The OLAC Crosswalk functions to show how the tools that principals and teachers already use to guide their professional learning to the standards line up directly with the measures that drive the Teacher Performance Evaluation Rubric. This January 2023 revised version of the OTES Crosswalk features the same standards and elements, and where applicable the same resources. It features updates, highlights, and additions as needed to make the OLAC OTES Crosswalk tightly coupled to state improvement priorities as well as OTES 2.0 evaluation measures. Any educator, school, or district can make use of this crosswalk to target professional learning as needed.
