Supporting Ohio's Teachers to Address the Needs of Diverse Students: Findings from a Scan of Equity-Centered Learning Modules. A Region 8 Comprehensive Center Scan
Kenyatta, Candace
Region 8 Comprehensive Center
The Diversifying the Education Profession Ohio Taskforce consists of aspiring teachers, K-12 educators, human resources personnel, educator preparation program representatives, community members, State Board of Education representation, and staff members from the Ohio Department of Education and Ohio Department of Higher Education and convened to establish a vision, goals, and recommendations for increasing Ohio's ability to serve diverse students. In this work, professional learning related to culture and climate, in addition to training on culturally responsive practices, was called out as a key strategy. According to the Learning Policy Institute, teachers who receive thorough preparation and are supported throughout their careers are both better equipped to meet the needs of diverse students and more likely to stay in the profession. Understanding this, the Ohio Department of Education partnered with the Region 8 Comprehensive Center to complete a national landscape scan of publicly accessible professional learning modules to support teachers in growing skills to address the needs of diverse student populations. The purpose of this document is to highlight online professional learning in alignment with the Diversifying the Education Profession Ohio Taskforce recommendations. Selected findings are provided from a comprehensive scan of online modules, webinars, or trainings designed to support educators in providing high-quality education to students across a wide array of backgrounds and needs. Each module provides details on the major learning objectives, module duration, availability of credentials, and alignment to the framework.
