As you enter, please have a brief discussion with your district team to answer the following two questions: Where is your district on having a deep
understanding and consistent application of the frameworks and state criteria? Which frameworks have you chosen to use?
Write your district name on four sticky notes and place one sticky note on each continuum and on the framework selection chart posted on the wall.

Connecting
Builds community, prepares the team for learning, and links to prior knowledge, other modules, and
current work
Participants will know and be able to: Understand the legislative requirements for
instructional and leadership frameworks as part of the Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project (TPEP)
Distinguish the ways an instructional and leadership framework can operationalize the revised evaluation system to improve teaching and learning
Articulate the relationship between the revised teacher and principal evaluation criteria and the frameworks
Use this module as a “jumpstart” to selected frameworks as a means to dig deeper into the framework and the alignment of the criteria
8
Overview of Intended Participant Outcomes
9
The critical importance of teacher and leadership quality The professional nature of teaching and leading a school The complex relationship between the system for
teacher and principal evaluation and district systems and negotiations
The belief in professional learning as an underpinning of the new evaluation system
The understanding that the career continuum must be addressed in the new evaluation system
The system must determine the balance of “inputs or acts” and “outputs or results”
TPEP Core Principles
“We Can’t Fire Our Way to Finland”
10
The “mingling task” at the block party is to share your principle with a neighbor from “down the block”—someone from a different table, workgroup, or district—and share how you’ve lived or experienced this principle during this school year.
Meet five different neighbors with the core principles.
The Block Party: Meet Your Neighbors
11
Can two or three volunteers share their own connection to a core principle or a connection they learned about from one of the neighbors they met?
How can we further the connections to these core principles among the district staff not in attendance today?

Overview of the Frameworks An instructional or
leadership framework provides a common language and vision of quality teaching/leading that is shared by everyone in the district and is aligned to the eight principal and teacher criteria created by E2SSB 6696.
Section (2)(e) and 6(e) of ESSB 5895 state: By September 1, 2012, the superintendent of
public instruction shall identify up to three preferred instructional and leadership frameworks that support the revised evaluation system.
The instructional frameworks shall be research-based and establish definitions or rubrics for each of the four summative performance ratings for each evaluation criteria.
Each school district must adopt one of the preferred instructional and leadership frameworks and post the selection on the district’s website.
The superintendent of public instruction shall establish a process for approving minor modifications or adaptations to a preferred instructional or leadership framework that may be proposed by a school district.
G!RCW 28A.405.100
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.

Learning II: Understanding the Relationship Between Criteria and Frameworks
Determine the relationship between the revised teacher and principal evaluation criteria and the
frameworks
26
Sort the domains or dimensions cards from the instructional frameworks onto the criteria placemat. Cards can be used more than once.
Check your answers with the framework support document.
Learning I Activity: Criteria Placemat and Framework Sort
Did your team sort the domains and dimensions like they are sorted in the framework support document?
Were any of the domains or dimensions difficult to align to criteria?
What do you notice when you look across the three frameworks for one of the criteria?
27
Learning Activity I: Discussion
28
Criteria, Domains/Dimensions in Action Eight groups will
describe what this criterion (and the domains/dimensions aligned to it) looks like in action.
Create a five-column chart with three bullets describing this criterion in action for each teacher type.
K 5th grade literacy
7th grade math
10th grade science
9th–12th grade P.E.
• • •

Each criteria group shares its chart. For discussion:
What is the same across your bullets for your teacher type?
Are there any significant differences for practice at different grade levels or for different content areas?
How do the frameworks and criteria provide a common language across different grade levels and content areas for teachers?
Would our conclusions be similar if we did this set of activities for principals? Would we be able to look at an elementary school principal in the same way we look at a high school principal?29

Implementing
Articulate the ways an instructional and leadership framework can operationalize the revised evaluation
system to improve teaching and learning
Use this module as a “jumpstart” to selected frameworks as a means to dig deeper into the
framework and the alignment of the criteria
Brief introductions to the instructional frameworks and the leadership frameworks created by the framework authors
Helps create a jumping off point for the remainder of our session activities

Goal: Unpack the instructional framework and leadership framework and create a communications plan.
Goal: create a communications plan and an educational PowerPoint that highlights the criteria alignment for both the teacher and leader evaluation systems. You may want to focus on the leadership framework.32
Connecting Back to the Continuum Entry Task: Three Groups, Three Tasks
Each team share two things to debrief our implementing tasks:1. One decision you made today (could be a key
decision, a preliminary decision, a change of course, etc.)
2. One of the immediate next steps you are taking when you return to your district

Whip Around: One significant “ah-ha moment” today
Take a few minutes and create at least two sticky notes for the Plus/Delta Chart on your way out. Plus: What was a real “plus” of today’s session?
What went well and should be repeated? Delta: Where is there room for improvement and
change?
