The Washington Context: Where did this work come from?

In Washington…

A capital “G!” indicates that the guidance represents Washington state law (RCW) or rules (WAC).

A lower-case “g” indicates that the guidance represents research-based best practice but is not mandated by law or rules.

Both E2SSB 6696 and ESSB 5895 contain language around student growth, including: Student growth data that is

relevant to the teacher and subject matter must be a factor in the evaluation process and must be based on multiple measures that can include classroom-based, school-based, district-based, and state-based tools. Student growth means the change in student achievement between two points in time.

Changes… Student growth data must be a

substantial factor in evaluating the summative performance of certificated classroom teachers for at least three of the evaluation criteria.

Student growth data elements may include the teacher’s performance as a member of a grade-level, subject matter, or other instructional team within a school when the use of this data is relevant and appropriate.

It is student growth, not student achievement, that is relevant in

demonstrating impacts teachers and principals have on students.

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

Examining Growth Goals

In the goals you reviewed, could you see a connection to the larger focus of the school?

How would you describe the relationship between the school improvement process and the student-growth process?

Thoughts about autonomy in goal-setting vs guidance from administrators and/or district?

What about this case story spoke to experiences you have had? What didn’t?

What role does the principal play in the scenario described?

How do we curb the urge to ‘game the system’?

What do you feel you’d need to effectively guide teachers through the student growth goal process?
