Comprehensive Evaluation: Teachers
• Assesses all eight evaluation criteria.• All criteria contribute to the comprehensive summative
evaluation rating.• Student Growth Rubrics embedded in Criterion. (3, 6, 8)• All provisional classroom teachers and any classroom
teacher not on level 3 or level 4 receive comprehensive evaluation.
• All classroom teachers shall receive a comprehensive summative evaluation at least once every four years.
Comprehensive Evaluation: Principals
• Assesses all eight evaluation criteria.
• All criteria contribute to the comprehensive summative evaluation rating.
• Student Growth Rubrics embedded in Criterion. (3,5,8)
• “Due to the importance of instructional leadership and assuring rater agreement among evaluators, particularly those evaluating teacher performance, school districts are encouraged to conduct comprehensive summative evaluations of principal performance on an annual basis.” Section 1, (12 c(v))
Evaluation Summative Scoring Process
Focused Evaluation: Certificated Classroom Teachers• Includes an assessment of one of the eight criterion.• Student Growth Rubrics from one of the three
criterion – If a teacher chooses 3,6 or 8; their accompanying student
growth rubrics will be used.– If a teacher chooses Criterion 1,2,4,5,7, the accompanying
student growth rubrics from Criterion 3 or 6 will be used.
• Approved by the teacher ‘s evaluator.• A focused evaluation must be performed in any year
that a comprehensive evaluation is not scheduled.
Focused Evaluation: Summative Scoring Process
• Includes an assessment of one of the eight criterion.
• Student Growth Rubrics from one of the three criterion – The focused evaluation will include the student growth rubric
row selected by the principal or assistant principal.
• Criterion and Student Growth Rubric Rows must be approved by the principal’s evaluator.
• A focused evaluation must be performed in any year that a comprehensive evaluation is not scheduled.

SUMMATIVE SCORING METHODOLOGY STUDENT GROWTH MEASURES
ESSB 5895 and ESEA Waiver
Summative Rating Process Overview
• ESSB 5895 requires OSPI to determine a summative scoring methodology by December 1, 2012.
• Summative Rating is determined through a “Raw Score” Model.
• Generated from the TPEP Pilot Sites and approved by the TPEP Steering Committee.
• Used for both the teacher and principal evaluation systems.
• Determination of overall criterion score based on both:– Instructional framework rubrics– Student growth rubrics
The RAW Score Model
Evaluators place teachers into preliminary summative rating categories based on score bands. As illustrated above, this teacher would receive a preliminary overall summative rating of Proficient.
Evaluation Summative Scoring Process
Defining key terms
• Student achievementThe status of subject-matter knowledge, understandings, and skills at one point in time.
• Student growth (learning)The growth in subject-matter knowledge, understandings, and skill over time.
It is student growth, not student achievement, that is relevant in demonstrating impacts teachers and principals have on students.

Student growth rubrics
• 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 each of the three criterion: – Teachers #3, #6, and #8– Principals #3, #5, and #8
Using district-, school-, and classroom-based data (teachers)• 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)
– 6.1 Establish 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

Student growth: What’s next…
Convening a group of educators to analyze the student growth process and determine next steps with regard to districts implementation of this portion of the TPEP work. It will be an initial step in looking at the implementation in the following areas:1.Assessment Literacy2.Student Growth Rubrics3.Student Growth Measures4.Examples of Student Growth Goals
• OSPI and the TPEP Steering Committee feel it is critical that this process is authentic and relevant to the existing context in districts.
Student growth data examples
• State-Based Tools– e.g., MSP, HSPE, EOCs, SMARTER Balanced
Assessment Consortium (SBAC)• District-Based Tools
– e.g., MAP, AIMS Web, SBAC interim, district writing assessments, fluency checks, RBAs, MBAs
• School-Based Tools– e.g., content area, grade-level or other school team
assessments• Classroom-Based Tools
– Applies to all teachers
Focus on district-, school- and classroom-based tools1. OSPI recommends focusing on four areas:
2. Developing Assessment Literacy in ALL Staff
3. Unpacking Student Learning Rubric Language
4. Student Learning Goal Setting – Questions to Ask:
• Priority of Content: Is the student learning goal focused on the right material? • Rigor of Target: Does the target represent an appropriate amount of student learning for
the specified interval of instruction? • Quality of Evidence: Will the evidence source(s) allow for clear, accurate measurement
of student learning?
5. Determining and Using Measures to Evaluate Student Learning Goals
Bargaining framework
• RCWs
• WACs/Rules
• OSPI Guidance
Criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

FLEXIBILITY IS THE KEY!
Calibration is important!
• Districts must provide calibration training for principals and administrators (maximize rater agreement) on:– Observation of Teaching and Leadership Practice– Student Growth Goal Setting and Use of
Measures/Evidence of Student Learning – And suggested….– Goal setting, Self-assessment, Artifacts and Other
Evidence Related to Frameworks– Overall Expectations of Teacher and Leader
Professional Responsibilities
Next steps
• Adopt new policy, procedure and implementation schedule
• Bargain / discuss / watch• Rater agreement strategy• Resolve current probationary cases• Other (i.e., pilot option, consider minor
modifications)

Immediate action
• Boards adopt Implementation Plan by June 2013
• Boards adopt Instructional and Leadership frameworks by June 2013
• Start review process of current policy 5240 and procedure 5240 by June 2013
• Boards adopt the new policy by September 2013
TPEP’s name is changing to its new name: Professional Growth and Evaluation System September 1, 2013
Evaluation of staff
Paragraph 1
The board recognizes that the professional growth and evaluation of individual employees is important to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the school district.
Evaluation of staff
Paragraph 2
By September 1, 2013, pursuant to state law implementing the Professional Growth and Evaluation System, the board will establish a revised evaluation process using a four-level rating system for all certificated classroom teachers, certificated principals and assistant principals.
Paragraph 3The evaluation system will use the minimum criteria developed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The four-level rating system will describe the performance of certificated classroom teachers, certificated principals and assistant principals along a continuum that indicates the extent to which evaluative criteria have been met or exceeded. Student growth data, defined as the change in student achievement between two points in time, must be a substantial factor in the evaluation process and must be based on multiple measures, including classroom, school, district and state-based tools.
Evaluation of staff
Paragraph 4Beginning in the 2013-14 school year, all certificated classroom teachers, principals and assistant principals will be evaluated on either a comprehensive or focused evaluation using the new state criteria. By the end of the 2016-2017 school year, all certificated classroom teachers on a continuing contract will complete a comprehensive evaluation.
Evaluation of staff
Paragraph 5Beginning with the 2015-16 school year, valuation results for certificated classroom teachers, certificated principals and assistant principals must be used as one of multiple factors in making human resource and personnel decisions. Human resource decisions include, but are not limited to, employee assignment, including the consideration of an agreement to an assignment by an appropriate teacher, principal and superintendent and reduction in force. The district will not be limited in its ability to collectively bargain how the multiple factors will be used in making human resource and personnel decisions, but the evaluation results must be a factor.
Evaluation of staff
Paragraph 6The failure of any evaluator to evaluate or supervise or cause the evaluation or supervision of certificated classroom teachers, certificated support personnel or administrators in accordance with the revised evaluation system, when it is his or her specific duty to do so, will be sufficient cause for the non-renewal of any such evaluator’s contract under RCW 28A.405.210 or the discharge of such evaluator under RCW 28A.405.300.
Evaluation of staff
DEFINITION
Paragraph 1:“Certificated classroom teacher” means an employee who provides academically-focused instruction to students and holds one or more of the certificates pursuant to WAC 181-79-A-140(1) through (3) and (6)(a) through (e) and (g).

Certificated Classroom Teachers
REQUIREMENTS
Paragraph 2:The performance of certificated classroom teachers will be observed twice a year, for a total observation time of not less than sixty (60) minutes. New staff will be observed for the purpose of evaluation at least once for a total observation time of not less than thirty (30) minutes within ninety (90) calendar days after employment. An employee in the third year of provisional status will be observed at least three times for a total observation time of not less than ninety (90) minutes.
REQUIREMENTS
Paragraph 3All certified classroom teachers will receive a comprehensive summative evaluation at least once every four years. A comprehensive summative evaluation assesses all eight evaluation criteria applicable to that certificated classroom teacher and all criteria contribute to the comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating. A certificated classroom teacher who is a provisional employee under RCW 28A.405.220 or who received a comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating of Level 1 or Level 2 in the previous school year, or four (4) years of satisfactory evaluations in the district, will receive an annual comprehensive summative evaluation.
Certificated Classroom Teachers
REQUIREMENTS
Paragraph 4In the years when a comprehensive summative evaluation is not required, certificated classroom teachers who received a comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating of Level 3 or 4 in the previous school year will receive a focused evaluation. A focused evaluation includes an assessment of one of the eight criteria selected for a performance rating plus professional growth activities specifically linked to the selected criteria.
Certificated Classroom Teachers
REQUIREMENTS
Paragraph 5A certificated classroom teacher whose performance does not meet minimum requirements of the new or existing RCW, whichever is applicable to that staff member, will be notified in writing of the specific deficiencies and afforded a reasonable program for improvement.
