Here is where you can access the RESA Guidebook that is necessary for understanding the requirements for submission.
Thanks to all who attended the first RE Year 3 and RESA session. Your attention and participation was appreciated. We know this school year is especially hectic with lots of bumps along the way. Hang in there! We look forward to working with you in the upcoming sessions. Be sure to mark your calendar now for your next session. The next RE Year 3 and RESA session will be on Tuesday, October 27 from 4:30-6:00pm via Zoom. The Zoom link for the meeting will be posted on the Google Site approximately 24 hours prior to the meeting, and you will receive an email as well.
RESA Candidates Should Be Doing the Following:
  • Ensure your program coordinator has entered your information into CORE (portal for ODE to submit your information to TeachForward).

  • BE ON THE WATCH FOR AN EMAIL FROM TEACHFORWARD THAT WILL ASK YOU CREATE AN ACCOUNT AND LOG IN. THIS ACCOUNT PROVIDES YOU ACCESS TO THE MATERIALS AND IS ALSO HOW SUBMISSION HAPPENS.

  • Download and read the entire RESA Guidebook to familiarize yourself with the requirements for submission

  • Look into your technology options and resources that are available to you for recording your lesson

  • Check with school administration to ensure your students can be videotaped

  • Check in with your facilitator and seek their help when needed

  • The Google Site has a "appropriate support" reference page as to what facilitators are allowed to do.

  • Begin practicing recording lessons so you will have options to choose from when it is time for submission
