Upcoming roster verification opt-in key to ensuring accurate value-added measures for teachers
Superintendents at traditional districts, joint vocational and career-technical districts, educational service centers, and community schools will be receiving an email on Nov. 18 requesting that they confirm their participation in value-added roster verification by Dec. 19. The email will come from support@ohio-k12.help.
Participating in roster verification this spring is the best way for districts and schools to ensure that value-added measures will accurately reflect the influence of each teacher’s instruction on student progress.
Teachers who should participate in roster verification are those who teach students taking the following state tests during the 2025-2026 school year:
- Elementary and middle school tests: Grades 4-8 – English Language Arts and Mathematics; Grades 5 and 8 – Science
- End-of-course tests for high school credit: Algebra I, Geometry, Integrated Mathematics I and II, English Language Arts II, American History, American Government, and Biology
Refer to this Ohio Department of Education and Workforce webpage for the complete roster verification schedule and resources.
To ensure your superintendent receives the message, make sure OEDS data is up to date and accurate. For step-by-step instructions on how to update OEDS, visit this Department webpage.
Please contact support@ohio-k12.help if your superintendent is new for the 2025-2026 school year.
