Resident Educator Program Changes
Recent legislation made significant changes to the Resident Educator License and Resident Educator Program. Effective in 2023, the Resident Educator License will be a 2-year license, and the Resident Educator Program will be a 2-year program.
Beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, each Resident Educator will be required to successfully complete two years of mentoring with a teacher and attempt the Resident Educator Summative Assessment in Year 2 of the Program.
ODE did not ask for these changes; rather, it was a legislative decision. ODE staff will be working on guidelines as we transition to these requirements
Please note that upcoming changes will not affect anyone currently enrolled in the RE program. We will keep you updated as we learn more information.
