Year TwoClicking on the Year 2 link will take you to the Year One tab. I have combined the information since they are very similar with the amount of paperwork that you will complete. We continue to focus on collaborative logs, providing support, working on and developing the ability to reflect back on your lessons.

Ohio Continuum of Teacher Development: A Resource Tool for Educators
Introduction The Ohio Continuum of Teacher Development supports Ohio’s educators as they develop the skills and knowledge necessary to provide the highest quality education to Ohio students. Based on the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession, the Continuum describes teachers’ progress throughout the course of their careers. Organization of the Continuum The Continuum describes five cumulative levels of development, which correspond to the Proficient, Accomplished and Distinguished indicators in the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession and to the categories used in Ohio’s Race to the Top application. These five levels of teacher development are:
Uses of the Continuum While the content of the Continuum can inform the design of performance weighting rubrics, the Continuum itself is not intended to be evaluative. The philosophy behind the Continuum is that teachers will continue to grow over the course of their careers with the assistance of a system that supports their growth and development. In addition to serving as a tool for teachers, it is anticipated that the Continuum will do the following.
What the Continuum Means for Ohio’s Teachers Progress across the levels of the Continuum may not always occur at the same rate for all teachers; therefore, mastery of each level does not necessarily correlate with time on the job. Some teachers may progress through the levels of certain standards more quickly than others. Some teachers’ mastery may decline on specific Continuum levels when they take on a new teaching responsibility or content area. With Ohio’s support systems in place, however, all teachers can reach a level in their careers at which they effectively meet students’ needs and provide high quality instruction for Ohio’s students. Use of the Ohio Continuum of Teacher Development can support Ohio educators and help create a world-class, standards-based education system in which all students achieve at the highest levels. |
