CONSISTENTLY HIGH PERFORMING TEACHER STATUS
An educator who meets the State Board of Education’s definition of “consistently high performing teacher” is exempt from the requirement to complete coursework/credits for the renewal of his/her teaching license for his/her next renewal cycle.

 

You can apply for this each cycle if you meet the criteria. Note that the requirements must be met within a renewal cycle in order for consistently high performing teacher status to be applied to the next renewal cycle. For example, in order for consistently high performing teacher status to apply to a 2030 renewal, the requirements must be met between the 2020-21 and 2024-25 school years.

Eligibility Criteria:

Received a final summative OTES rating of Accomplished in 4 out of 5 years (evaluation rating “carries over” in years in which you are not evaluated)

AND
Met at least one of the following criteria in at least three out of the past five years:
  • Held a locally recognized teacher leadership role providing professional learning experiences
  • Served in a leadership role for a national/state professional education organization
  • Served on a state-level committee supporting education
  • Received a state or national educational recognition/award
 

If you believe that you have met the criteria for consistently high performing teacher status, please complete the form below and send to Josh Englehart, Board Office
