Ada superintendent explains new expectations from Ohio Department of Education
During the school year that just ended, teachers and administrators at Ada Schools have been adjusting to new expectations from the Ohio Department of Education, according to Dr. Suzanne Darmer, superintendent.
“One of the major changes that occurred is the way teacher performance is evaluated,” she wrote in a letter to members of the school community in late May.
Her letter explains several things about the new expectations, including:
• What is Ohio’s Teacher Evaluation System (OTES)
• How has OTES changed teacher evaluations in Ada
• What does this mean for Ada schools
• Why is the state making the change
Dr. Darmer’s letter may be read by opening the two attachments at the bottom of this story.
