Washington State
Teacher and Principal
Evaluation Project
Including Student Growth
in Educator Evaluation
1
Updated October 2014
Intended Participant Outcomes
Participants will know and be able to:
 Understand the legislative requirements for using student
growth data as one of several measures in an educator’s
evaluation in Washington
 Understand student growth in focused and comprehensive
formats
 Learn and apply the student growth rubric structure and
language
 Understand the creation of student growth goals in alignment
with the evaluation criteria
 Identify relevant measures of student growth in your district
context

Defining Key Terms
Student Achievement: The status of subject-matter
knowledge, skills, understanding or performance a given
point in time.
Student Growth (Learning): The change in student
achievement between two points in time.


It is student growth, not student achievement,
that is relevant in demonstrating impacts
teachers and principals have on students.

Student Growth Rubrics
RCW 28A.405.100
The TPEP steering committee organizations approved
statewide rubrics for student growth to ensure
consistency in implementation of the evaluation system
across Washington State.


The rubrics for student growth describe both goal setting and
outputs of student learning.
OSPI has provided student growth rubrics for all
educators:


Teachers: 3, 6, and 8
Principals: 3, 5, and 8

Classroom-Based Data (Teachers)
RCW 28A.405.100
Five Student Growth Criteria


3.1 Establish Student Growth Goals
Re: individual or subgroups of students (achievement/opportunity gap)

3.2 Achievement of Student Growth Goals
Re: individual or subgroups of students (achievement/opportunity gap)

6.1Establish Student Growth Goals using Multiple Student
Data Elements
Re: whole class based on grade-level standards and aligned to school and
district goals

6.2 Achievement of Student Growth Goals
Re: whole class based on grade-level standards and aligned to school and
district goals

8.1 Establish Team Student Growth Goals
Re: Teacher as part of a grade-level, content area, or other school/district team

Learning Activity: Unpacking the
Student Growth Rubric

Individually:



Read across the rows and highlight
the key descriptions of
performance at each level.
Look down the column and circle
the key words or ideas that best
summarize each of the four
performance levels.
As a table group/district team
answer these questions and create
3 charts:

10
What are the key differences
between proficient and distinguished?
Between proficient and basic?
Between basic and unsatisfactory?

What does a teacher need
to know, say, and do to
demonstrate proficiency on
these rubrics? Create a chart
for each criterion.
Criterion ___
Debrief


Each team names for the large group a key characteristic
of the student growth rubric – either in terms of a
performance level description or in terms of the key
actions needed by teachers.
Each team names one thing that teachers need to know,
say, or do to demonstrate proficiency on the student
growth rubric.
11
Alignment Considerations




Assessments should cover key subject and grade-level
content standards.
No items, questions, or prompts should cover standards
that the course does not address.
The assessment structure should mirror the distribution
of teaching time devoted to course content.
The cognitive demands of the assessment should match
the full range of cognitive thinking required during the
course.

Do Teachers Use? How Often?

2-3-4 times a year
Regularly during the year
Daily or weekly
Formative

Establishing Targets

Identify the expected outcomes by the end of the
instructional period for the whole class (criterion 6)
or for subgroups (criterion 3), as appropriate.
Criterion 3:
Subgroup of
students not
meeting full
learning
potential.
High evidence of learning for
all/nearly students
Target would be:
Clear evidence of learning for
most students
(Achievement
Target would be:
Gap)

Evaluating Goals for Criterion SG 3.1
Review of the Learning Goal (s)
Use the following protocol to
confirm that the Learning
Goal has the right size, detail,
and depth necessary.
(proficient level language is
used, please see the critical
attributes resource for
additional levels of
performance)
Check the boxes that apply.
17
The Learning Goal:
Identifies subgroups and uses data that identifies students not
reaching full learning potential (i.e. achievement/opportunity gaps,
ELL, special education, highly capable)*
is specific, measureable and time-bound
is based on multiple sources of available data that reveal prior
student learning
is aligned to content standards
is appropriate for the context, instructional interval and content
standard(s) (grain size)
demonstrates a significant impact on student learning of content
(transferable skills)
Identifies formative and summative measures aligned to learning
targets to monitor progress towards goals
Learning Activity: Creating Growth
Goals

With a partner or two, spend 20 minutes creating
examples of student growth goals:

one in your content area and grade level
one outside your area of content expertise
one that you would hope a teacher one grade below
would write for students to prepare them for your class



Pick one to share

Was this brief experience harder or easier than you expected?
How might you use this activity with groups of educators in
your district?
How might you modify this activity?
Evaluating Criterion SG 3.2
Student growth criterion 3.2: Make a student learning claim and provide evidence
for the actual outcomes at the end of the instructional period for subgroups not
meeting full learning potential.
Teacher completes the section below.
Make a rating claim
as to the level of the
actual outcomes
based on the goals
for student learning.
Claim
High evidence of learning for all/nearly all students (Distinguished)
Clear evidence of learning for most students (Proficient)
Some evidence of learning for some students (Basic)
No evidence of learning for most students (Unsatisfactory)
Please provide student learning evidence from at least two points in time that
supports your claim of student learning (2 or more sources):
