The Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) Evaluator Training will prepare an evaluator of teachers for effective, high quality and consistent staff evaluation using the OTES Model aligned to the OTES Framework as adopted by the State Board of Education in November 2011.

Upon successful completion of the training (attendance for all three days is REQUIRED), participants will have access to the online assessment. The three-day state-sponsored OTES training will provide a better understanding of the OTES Framework; allow practice of skills such as scripting, evidence analysis/categorizing and coaching; and allow for sharing of resources and best practices in educator evaluation. Lunch is provided on-site for training participants. Registration is $250.00, payable to the ESC of Central Ohio.
