Ohio Teacher Evaluation System Final Summative Rating
Calculations for the Final Summative Rating
In 2014, Substitute House Bill 362 included an alternative framework for teacher evaluation. HB 64 in 2015 brought the following changes to the alternative framework. If
a district chooses to use the alternative framework for the 2015-16 school year or thereafter, the district shall calculate ratings assigned for teacher evaluations according
to the following:
1) The teacher performance measure shall account for 50% of each rating
2) The student growth measure shall account for 35% of each rating
3) The remainder shall be one, or any combination of the following components: student surveys; teacher self-evaluations; peer review evaluations; student
portfolios; or other district-determined component
Additional information can be found in the Additional Resources section at
Districts may now select either the original framework (50-50) or the alternative framework (50-35-15) for conducting their teacher evaluations. Ohio utilizes a formula-
based approach based on a 600-point scale on a consistent basis for all teachers, including those whose districts select the original framework, and those who choose the
alternative framework of the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System. The formula is incorporated into the eTPES calculations.

NOTE: The graphics on the next two pages illustrate how the Teacher Performance on the Standards, the Student Growth Measures, and the
Alternative components (if selected by the district) are combined to produce the Final Summative Rating for each teacher.
