Teacher Support Services

The Teacher Support Services Department supports all teaching personnel throughout the processes related to teacher certification and licensure. Our department provides consultative assistance in the following areas:

We support the Local Professional Development Committees (LPDCs) through yearly inservices and assistance that includes answering questions and providing current information regarding professional development, as well as, licensure and certification requirements.

We are currently facilitating an Entry Year and Mentoring Program to assist our schools in fulfilling state requirements for Entry Year Teachers.

We work collaboratively with the Ohio Department of Education and the Catholic Conference of Ohio to better support teachers in the areas of licensure and certification.

The Teacher Support Services Department supports the mission of the Office of Catholic Education through our professional, knowledgeable assistance to all principals and teachers throughout the Diocese of Cleveland.
