What You Should Be Doing Now


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
