Office of Criminal Justice Services Strategic Planning Assessment Survey

The Office of Criminal Justice Service (OCJS) serves as the lead criminal justice planning agency for the state of Ohio. OCJS administers millions of dollars of grant funds to Ohio’s criminal justice constituents and coordinates Ohio’s comprehensive criminal justice plan. We are engaging in a statewide strategic planning effort to identify Ohio’s key criminal justice needs and priorities. Part of this effort involves gathering information from experts in the field. I invite you to participate in our Strategic Planning Assessment survey. Your responses will be invaluable to OCJS in shaping the Strategic Plan. Youwill find the surveyat www.surveymonkey.com/r/OCJS_NeedsAssessmentSurvey_2018 . The survey has two sections: (1) Prioritizing overall state needs, and (2) Prioritizing the needs of your particular profession (e.g. law enforcement, crime prevention, courts, etc.). Most people complete the survey in 15 minutes. Please disseminate this assessment to your staff, colleagues, partners, associates, funded entities, membership, or other relevant parties in the field, as we welcome feedback from all stakeholders. Thank you for the work that you do to make for a safer Ohio.

STRENGTHENING OHIO’S TEACHER PIPELINE THROUGH PARTNERSHIP GRANT OPPORTUNITY Ohio Department of Education & Ohio Department of Higher Education

September 2018

Program Purpose

In a competitive job market, attracting individuals into the education profession, preparing them successfully for the reality of K-12 classrooms, and recruiting them into our most needed positions and districts can be challenging. Ensuring that Ohio will have a strong teacher pipeline in the years to come is of utmost importance to ensure that each child in Ohio has an excellent educator. To do this, entities must work together to achieve this shared goal of growing and strengthening the new teacher pipeline. The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) and Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) are together, offering a competitive grant opportunity to establish and foster partnerships that will help strengthen Ohio’s teacher pipeline for years to come. The grant opportunity provides funds to Ohio’s K-12 districts and schools alongside the appropriate Ohio educator preparation partnership(s). The partnership must be focused on developing a mutually accountable plan of action related to attracting and recruiting teachers, with a focus on aligning to local district and school human capital needs as well as the pipeline issues of the regional area. The plan must be driven by qualitative and quantitative data findings of all partners. This will require open communication and collaboration that is centered on the underlying root-causes facing the partners and the best solutions for strengthening the teacher pipeline in your context. The plan should show that all parties are mutually accountable in this work and have aligned needs and solutions through the project. 1. The plan must be for three years of action and sustainability; funds not related to this grant must be considered for longer term sustainability to implement the plan developed. 2. Grantees will be required to share their developed action plan with both departments and present plans to a broader human capital leader community in Ohio. 3. Grantees will submit a final report to the Departments at the end of grant, and offer updates at times throughout the grant project timeline when needed.
