What is Human Capital?

All district and school employees have the opportunity to make a difference and empower Ohio's students.  

Human capital includes the knowledge, skills, and unique characteristics and attributes that influence a person’s ability to be an effective and productive employee.

The collective impact of educators’ capabilities makes a meaningful difference for students. Educators include all employees in schools and districts—from superintendents, principals, and teachers to school counselors, librarians, bus drivers, cooks, and custodians.

Human Capital. Each and every adult plays a role in a district or school community is an educator.

Each and every adult who plays a role in a district or school community is an educator.

Assess Where You Are

Find out where your district, school, or organization currently stands and learn more about your existing strengths and opportunities for growth in your human capital management system (HCMS) by taking a free self-assessment.

This assessment is aligned with the Professional Human Capital Leaders in Education (pHCLE) Standards. The pHCLE standards were developed by a national committee of human capital leaders in PK–12 education institutions. They define the core knowledge and skills needed to improve talent practices in education.
