Education in Ohio
Education Landscape
Ohio serves approximately 1.5 million students across more than 600 school districts. The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce requires districts to use the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) or a board-adopted alternative for teacher assessments, with evaluations tied to both professional practice and student growth measures.
Observation Requirements
OTES 2.0 requires at least two formal observations per year - one holistic and one focused - for teachers on the standard evaluation cycle, each at least 30 minutes long. Observations include pre-conferences and post-conferences. Teachers rated Accomplished may qualify for evaluation once every three years.
Framework Spotlight
Supported Frameworks in Ohio
Ohio uses the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES), which was informed by the Danielson Framework for Teaching and uses its own rubric organized around similar domains. Observation Copilot supports the Danielson framework, helping Ohio principals generate feedback that aligns to OTES requirements and the domains and components used in their evaluations.
