Background
Washington Teacher Principal Evaluation
Washington State Bill E2SSB 6696 - passed by the Washington
State Legislature in the 2010 session
Revising the evaluation criteria for both classroom teachers and
principals;
Creating a four-level rating systems;
Requiring OSPI to create a pilot with school districts in the 2010-11
(development) and 2011-12 (pilot implementation) school years;
All districts to adopt new systems in the 2013-14 school year;
Increasing the length of the provisional status for new teachers; and
Requiring school districts to send OSPI information on the current
evaluation system for all employee groups beginning in 2010-2011 school
year.
Work of the Pilots
Nine pilot participants, eight districts and one consortium of
districts, participated in the 2010/2011 Teacher/Principal
Evaluation Pilot

Instructional Frameworks
Rubrics
Work of the Consortia
Understand How to Select a Framework
The comprehensive instructional framework (common language/model of
instruction) is used as a way to talk about instruction that is shared by everyone in the
district.
Marzano states that teachers and principals use the instructional framework “to
converse about effective teaching, give and receive feedback, collect and act upon
data to monitor growth regarding the reasoned use of the strategies, and align
professional development needs against the framework.”
Identify Measures and Evidence
The measures and evidence are used to determine the “performance along a
continuum that indicates the extent to which the criteria have been met or exceeded.”
The measures used in the evaluation system should have strong correlation to the
criteria being evaluated. This section should represent the district’s system for
determining final summative evaluation score.
Discuss Final Summative Evaluation
Similar to the standards based system for students, clear targets for both the distinct
criteria and the final summative evaluation will drive principals and teachers to a
evaluation system that promotes growth.
Work at the District
Engagement:
This is a collaborative process. Successful development and ultimately implementation has
and will require looking at this process through the perspectives of all stakeholders.
Communication:
Communication is a key component to successful development and implementation of the
new evaluation system. The collaborative approach is critical.
Professional Development:
Looking at this new evaluation system as a process in continuous improvement,
professional development to train the staff is key.
Data:
Many aspects of the new teacher and principal evaluation system will depend heavily on
the acquisition and use of data from evidence.
Forms & Tools:
Many parts of the new evaluation system might require changing the forms and tools
currently used in the evaluation process, or might make current tools more effective.

District Planning
Communication and Feedback
TPEP policy implementation requires
learning in public
Learning here among your colleagues from other districts
Learning to lead this work in your district
Learning from leading this work to adjust and improve your
approach
Learning to conduct collaborative evaluations
Learning to see/hear and record evidence of leadership and
instructional practices
Learning to generate and share actionable feedback about
leadership and instruction
Establishing Your Working Group’s
Vision of Success
If your working group is 100% successful what will be
different in your district at the end of the 2013-14 school
year?
What will be different at the end of 2012-13 school year?
What will be different at the end of this school year?
Developing Trust in Your Working
Group
Norms: What agreements do you need to make with each
other, in order to do your best work together, under public
learning conditions?
Examples for increasing trust:
Demonstrate and discern a genuine interest in each others’
point of view
Demonstrate and discern faith in your own abilities and faith
in the ability of others
Demonstrate and discern forgiveness
Do what you say you will do and say what you did
Leading and Learning
the New Evaluation Criteria
Who needs to learn the teacher and
principal evaluation criteria and how will
they best learn it?
Thank you for your time and thinking
Please fill out the evaluation forms before you leave. They
will help us help you better.
