As part of the Lesson Reflection, candidates are required to complete the Teaching and Learning Context Form to provide important information about the students in the class, which helps assessors understand and interpret the Lesson Reflection.
When completing the form, we strongly recommend typing responses directly into the template. Copying and pasting formatted or bulleted text into the template can result in the modification of the template or the addition of blank pages, which will cause the form to appear blank when it is uploaded to the website.
Prior to submission, candidates are required to preview the Teaching and Learning Context Form on the Ohio RESA website to ensure the entire form is visible and legible.
Note: The form templates can be downloaded and saved as either MS Word documents (.docx) or PDFs (.pdf). If candidates try to save it as another document or convert file types (from PDF to MS Word or vice versa), the RESA Submission System will not read it.
