OTES Self-Assessment (12/19)
As an educator, it is important to self-assess yourself to identify areas you need to develop and also to see
areas of strength. At this point in your career, it is okay to have many areas which need to be improved. There
should never come a point in which you think you have it all mastered and there is nothing else to learn. There
is always room for growth and improvement.
Use the following table (based on the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession) to respond to each
standard. Thoughtfully consider each component within the standards to determine a 1-4 rating. It is okay to
give yourself a “1”. The purpose of this self-evaluation is to show areas in which you can develop.
These are the same standards you will evaluated on once you have your own classroom. It will be important to
be able to provide evidence/data for each component. When you are in the field, discuss the types of data
classroom teachers are sharing with their administrators to document these standards.
(1 = rarely, 2 = sometimes, 3 = frequently, 4 = always)
Knowledge of how students learn and of student development
Understanding of what students know and are able to do
High expectations for all students
Identification, instruction and intervention for special populations
Evidence indicating strengths and areas for growth:
Use of content-specific instructional strategies to teach concepts and skills
Knowledge of school and district curriculum priorities and Ohio academic content
standards
Relationships of knowledge within the discipline to other content areas
Connection of content to life experiences and career opportunities
Evidence indicating strengths and areas for growth:
