Educator Equity
Ohio is committed to addressing educator equity and ensuring that every student receives instruction from a qualified teacher. Federal regulations and state statute both speak to this stated goal and have implemented a variety of policies aimed at meeting the needs of students in our most disadvantaged academic environments. No matter the location of the student nor their age, all are entitled to a quality educator provided by a trained instructor.
Ohio implements two complementary program at the state and local level to address these needs.
The State Equity Plan identified four root-cause categories that may lead to inequitable access to excellent educators. They include:
A Local Equity Plan require districts to:
- Use data to identify and document the district’s gaps in equitable access to excellent educators.
- Conduct a root-cause analysis to identify why there are gaps in equitable access to excellent educators in your district.
- Identify and describe the strategy or strategies the district will use to impact the root-cause(s) and lessen/eliminate the district’s gaps in equitable access.
