Resident Educator

Mission

According to the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio Resident Educator Program began in 2011, and is a comprehensive, four-year initiative to assist ​beginning teachers with mentoring and professional development as they start their education careers. The Resident Educator Program is designed to ​improve teacher retention, enhance teacher quality, and result in improved student achievement. The Ohio Resident Educator Program can be ​envisioned as a professional pathway to continued professional learning, leading educators to more effective practices and excellence in teaching. Ohio ​Revised Code 3319.223 and Ohio Administrative Code 3301-24-04 provide the basis for the Ohio Resident Educator Program and the requirement to ​successfully pass the Resident Educator Summative Assessment (RESA). When teachers successfully complete program requirements, including the ​RESA component, they become eligible for a professional teaching license.
