New documentation about student learning objectives and the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) are now available. Student growth measures are a method for determining how much academic progress students are making by measuring growth between two points in time. In essence, any assessment available to educators will be considered a “student growth measure” when used to evaluate progress or growth, provided the assessment is rigorous and comparable across classrooms.
The documents below detail the student growth measures component of the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System.

Student Learning Objectives information
- One option for locally determined student growth measures is Student Learning Objectives. ODE strongly recommends every LEA take the opportunity to use the 2012-13 school year as a pilot if they are not fully implementing the new teacher evaluation system. As part of this pilot opportunity, having all teachers create at least one Student Learning Objective using the state designed tools and resources to gain experience with the process.
