Depends on which state criterion you select for your focus. If you choose frameowrk criterion 3, 6, or 8, you'd complete the student growth goals associated with that criterion. If you choose criterion 1, 2, 4, 5, or 7, you are limited to student growth 3 (small group goal) or student growth 6 (whole class goal).

All evaluators in the state of Washington must receive a significant amount of training on their instructional frameworks before they are legally able to conduct observations and evaluations.

This can vary a bit, but a key question: are you responsible for designing and delivering regular, ongoing instruction for a consistent set of students?

If so, you are likely going to be evaluated using TPEP and your instrucitonal framework.

If not, it is possible that you are not technically under the TPEP umbrella in RCW/WAC. In that case, check with your local union leaders, HR, or uniserv to help you understand how you are evaluated. That may be determined in your CBA.

We will touch on this. Admin has the legal right to switch you from focused to comprehensive prior to December 15 if there are performance concerns. If you feel this move is punitive (and not related to documented or observed performance concerns) then that is something to engage your local union leaders and Uniserv with.

We will touch on that... Yes, if you have completed provisional status, then you qualify to be shifted to focused evaluation with a proficient or distinguised TOTAL summative rating on your most recent comprehensive eval.

Last night’s class stated we need to now focus on our own class. How do we address this now?

From Mark:

Criterion 8 SG is about collaborating to design goals (ie get feedback from peers), but not necessarily the SAME goals (since that might not always make sense).

That is where those student growth rubrics come in... your work with fostering student growth is compared against those rubrics, and that is how your student grwoth impact rating is determined.

The intention is that it affords us opportunities to use the research-based frameworks to examine and refine our practice...particularly since student needs are perpetually evolving, the process can help us keep up with the game. The most basic answer is that it is required by law :)

From Denise:

Criterion 8 is the Collaborative and Collegial Practices. I know many grade level or content same certs plan and have PLCs together when planning units of instruction. This means you can still plan for the 'How' together or you can decide the delivery of the lesson yourself. You can still be focused on your own students, subgroups and goals while simultaneously working collaboratively with your colleagues to align rubrics and what meets the standards taught.

From Maren: Your cba and any district forms are extremely important. You will especially want to reference your district's framework rubric.

From Maren: Evidence can come from conversation, student work, observations, many sources. Conversation with your evaluator is the best way to determine if additional evidence may be needed to demonstrate proficiency in a particular area.

From Maren: We will be talking about that during this session!

From Maren: There are three frameworks used in our state: Marzano, Danielson, and CEL. Materials specific to your district framework will be found in your district's version of OSPI eVal.

If you are looking for examples, vignettes and reflection tools please attend our TPEP 101 Student Growth Goals training! And check out the OSPI website for Student Growth: https://ospi.k12.wa.us/educator-support/teacherprincipal-evaluation-program/frameworks-and-student-growth/student-growth

From MJ: Both the evaluator and the teacher may provide evidence. The evaluator's role is to use the rubric to determine where that evidence falls. Ideally, this could be determined through conversation between the evaluator and the teacher.

From Maren: You will want to consider your local CBA. Some local CBAs have requirements for observations beyond what is found in state policy.

Also, if your evaluator is requesting additional observation time in order to gather additional evidence of meeting criteria, it may be to your advantage for there to be additional opportunities to gather that evidence.

From Maren: In this circumstance, you will want to be sure to contact your local president or UniServ director. They would be able to provide support with any next steps.
