It’s a transformational time for Ohio’s schools.
By 2014, all English and math classes will be operating under new curriculum standards, thanks to a voluntary federal program the state adopted.
By the 2013-2014 school year, all teachers must be paid based on merit, using a teacher evaluation system that is yet to be established.
To make these changes, about half the school districts in the state, including seven in Richland County, have a significant leg up: They’re participating in the federal Race to the Top program, the Obama administration’s education reform plan that calls for improved student testing, more data collection and a special focus on turning around low-performing schools.
