Everyday teaching includes evaluation, not only of teaching but also of the materials educators use. In this session, participants will explore tools from INFOhio that can accelerate learning, including a rubric to streamline evaluation and the Instructional Materials Reviews database which hosts thousands of materials reviewed by educators for educators. The session will also feature the Ohio Reviewed Instructional Materials hub, a go-to destination for high-quality, reviewed, and endorsed educational content.
