• A pilot project that is assessed and funded prior to statewide mandate;• Systems that maintain full bargaining rights at the local level;• Clear evaluation standards with rubrics;• Due process tied to evaluations must:• have clear, specific timelines• Improvement plans• funding and time provided for support systems• an appeals process

• Principals highly trained in evaluating educators• Adequate time and funding for a full observation process• Adequate planning time for an educator to accomplish traditional planning as well as observe and collaborate with other colleagues;• Maintain the current optional PGO and long form evaluation system;• Support informal peer observation and feedback, separate from the evaluation.

Principals:“monitoring, assisting, and evaluating effective instruction and assessment practices.”

Teachers:“communicating and collaboratingwith parents and school community.”

Principals:“partnering with the school community to promote learning.”

Timeline2010-11 Pilot districts develop “models” to use in implementing the new evaluation standards. These models will likely include indicators, rubrics and protocols.

2011-12The pilot districts will use the new models.End of 2011-12 Superintendent Dorn is charged with analyzing the work of the pilots and making a recommendation to the legislature.ESDs support local districts to begin a phase in 2012-13. (We’re in this)

2012-13All districts will do the preparation work needed to use the new models.

2013-14All districts will use the new models as the basis for evaluating their teachers and principals.

A 4-Tiered System

This is a big change in the new system. How does using a four-

tier system change people’s thinking?

What needs to happen?

The new evaluation system is required to be based on an instructional framework.

What’s an Instructional Framework?

An instructional framework defines, describes, and explains

instructional practices.

Communication about the Frameworks

• Website• Meetings for teachers• Facilitator group built with teacher

representatives from each school• Work group comprised of teacher,

administrator and central office representation

What can I do?

• Research the two frameworks• Utilize district TPEP website• Share with CEA leadership your preferred

framework• Get involved in the next steps

Decision about the Framework

• Teachers will be given the opportunity to explore the Frameworks

• CEA will make a recommendation to the Superintendent and School Board by February 2012

What needs to happen?

Once the framework is chosen, staff help define what each of the 4 tiers look like in the continuum

Rubrics & the Instructional Framework

• Help describe the levels on the continuum (unsatisfactory, basic, proficient and distinguished) for each of the criteria

• The rubrics assess the link between instructional practice and the state’s criteria, as reflected in the instructional framework.

• After choosing the instructional framework for Camas, we will explore what that framework should look like in action

Exploring the Frameworks• Guiding Questions documents• WEA Comparison to the 8 Criteria• Marzano Overview• 5 Dimensions of Learning (UW CEL)• All of these are available on Camas TPEP Site
