Subscriber Spotlight: Mid-Ohio Education Service Center
|
|
|
The Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center (Mid-Ohio ESC) provides specialized academic and support services to 16 school districts in Ohio - including access to professionals and services - that might otherwise be unaffordable by sharing these services among the districts.
In 2013, Mid-Ohio ESC, in collaboration with Knox County ESC and Tri-County ESC, received one of ten "Quality Matters" grants distributed by eTech Ohio. Six teachers from these ESCs were provided with professional development opportunities that would ultimately result in their certification as K-12 Online Facilitators, enabling them to provide their own sessions of Quality Matters' (QM) flagship course, K-12 Applying the QM Secondary Rubric (K-12 APP), to the school districts in which they serve.
Luke Burton, a Technology Integration Specialist at Mid-Ohio ESC, has taken four different QM-led professional development courses. Luke and his colleagues at Mid-Ohio ESC are working with many districts throughout the state, offering them professional development in a "train-the-trainer" model. In addition to the K-12 APP, they offer courses in Moodle training and assessment literacy.
