Ohio’s 4-Tiered Licensure Structure

Ohio Resident Educator Program Resident Educator Program: Foundation Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession Ohio Continuum of Teacher Development

Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession The Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession were developed for use as a guide for teachers as they continually reflect upon and improve their effectiveness as educators through all stages of their careers delineated by three levels of teacher performance: proficient, accomplished and distinguished.

Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession Knowledge of Students Content Assessment Instruction Learning Environment Collaboration and Communication Professional Responsibility and Growth

Ohio Continuum of Teacher Development Level Describes Emerging Pre-Licensure; the teacher education candidate Developing Residency; the teacher whose skills are developing Proficient The teacher who is applying knowledge and skills independently Accomplished The teacher who is fully skilled and able to integrate knowledge and experience – in instruction, curriculum and professional development – into practice Distinguished A teacher leader, consistently innovative, contributing to the professional learning community

Ohio Resident Educator Program

Instructional Mentoring Mentors play a key role in supporting beginning teachers as they actively analyze and reflect on their instructional decisions. During Year 1 and Year 2 of the Resident Educator Program, educators are assigned a state-certified mentor to support them as they implement the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Professional and apply the teaching and learning cycle to their instructional practices.

Instructional Mentoring These formative mentoring years are a time to practice through reflection and analysis of authentic teacher work (e.g., planning lessons, analyzing data and monitoring student progress). Through collaborative conversations, observation and feedback, mentors support resident educators’ professional growth and help them meet their annual goals. COLLABORATION IS KEY!

Ohio Resident Educator Program Teaching and Learning Cycle

Focused Mentoring Focused mentoring is a fairly new component of the formative mentoring years. While mentoring overall addresses the instructional support resident educators need as they begin their professional teaching careers, focused mentoring is specific and targeted to address teacher competencies. Through focused mentoring, teachers demonstrate their competency in the targeted skill areas at the local instead of the state level.  

Focused Mentoring Focused mentoring is delivered in two parts. Focused Mentoring I targets professional growth and communication during year 1. Focused Mentoring II targets use of student formative and summative assessment in year 2. The Office of Catholic Schools has developed activities that support focused mentoring. The goal is to provide a level of focused mentoring that supports growth in the practice of targeted areas.
