The National Council on Teacher Quality today released its
ninth annual State Teacher Policy Yearbook, which includes a 360-degree analysis of every state law,
rule and regulation that shapes the effectiveness of the teaching profession in Ohio.
Ohio earned a B- this year, holding steady from a B- in 2013, despite NCTQ raising expectations in
several key policy areas, including
aligning teacher licensing policies with
the requirements of states’ college- and
career-readiness standards. The average
grade across all 50 states and the District
of Columbia for 2015 is a “C-“.
