Introduction The EES Handbook New for fall of 2014—a streamlined Educational Effectiveness Survey TM (EES) report! CEE removed the research, background, and reference information from the EES reports to help you focus on your results. You will find this information in the comprehensive EES Handbook. The EES Handbook contains information and strategies for the interpretation and use of EES data with your staff. The EES Handbook is found in the EES results binder. A link to an electronic version will be emailed to you along with your report. If you cannot find your EES Handbook, you can access it on CEE’s website: www.effectiveness.org./files/EES-Handbook.pdf. CEE’s primary concern is that this report be useful and informative in stimulating conversation. If you require any additional assistance with using your report, please contact us at info@effectiveness.org.www.effectiveness.org./files/EES-Handbook.pdfinfo@effectiveness.org EES Staff Survey Research Framework The Center for Educational Effectiveness brings together leading research to create the Educational Effectiveness Survey™ (EES)—a formative and diagnostic tool designed to stimulate and inform conversations for improvement within your organization. The research framework includes: Effective organizations Organizational trust Culturally responsive teaching District support for improvement Attributes of effective instructional practice Structure of the EES Staff Report This results document contains your data results from the survey you recently administered. Readiness for Change This is the starting point for interpreting your EES Staff data. CEE’s research into over 100,000 staff survey responses has shown these items or attributes to be foundational to organizational change. This section, with your unique charted data, is the first section in the report. 9 Characteristics of High-Performing Schools While there is no single solution for all schools, research on effective schools identified common characteristics of high-performing schools. Successful schools engaged in improvement activities focus on these characteristics to create and improve the system(s) that ultimately increase student learning and achievement. Comparison between certificated staff and non-certificated staff This section allows the reader to understand the difference in perceptions between those responsible at the classroom level (certificated) for student learning and those responsible for the support mechanisms of the school (non-certificated). State 8 Criteria for Evaluation of Teaching and Learning The data in this report is a measure of the system of support within the school and district for development of effective instructional skills, as defined by the “State 8” and the district-selected instructional framework model that will be measured in the teacher evaluation process. Data shown are exclusively from certificated staff responses. 3

If your professional staff believes there is a weakness in the problem-solving ability or in the ability to resolve conflict within this building, or does not see the urgency to improve, you must address those issues to successfully navigate and sustain change. The data contained within the EES will allow conversations about those and other issues to begin by using “the staff voice.” You will find these data and the rest of the “readiness for change” data in the following report section.

Increasing Capacity for Improvement 25 Increased Student Performance Context Readiness for Change 9 Characteristics State 8 Criteria for Teaching “Context” defines the “current reality” of the student population, the school, and community. “Readiness for Change” defines the current capacity for change amongst the systems and adult culture of the school and district. 9 Characteristics define the strength and capacity of the adult systems and culture to have the difficult conversations, make decisions, and implement those changes necessary for improvement to happen. State 8 Criteria for Evaluation of Teaching and Learning define the specific skills necessary for effective instruction and learning. All four components impact the ability of the organization (school) to increase student learning and achievement.

26. EES Staff V10.1 © 2003-2014 Center for Educational Effectiveness, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 26 September 2010—July 2011 Between August 2010 and June 2011, the TPEP districts defined the new teacher evaluation criteria (RCW28A.405.1002(b)). This work was published in the July 2011 TPEP legislative report (http://tpep.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/tpep_leg_report---july_2011_full.pdf).http://tpep.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/tpep_leg_report---july_2011_full.pdf The TPEP districts continued to build their models by mapping their chosen instructional framework back to the 8 Washington State Criteria. This alignment of each framework back to the “State 8” was done with the input of the instructional framework authors and TPEP districts’ involvement. The EES measures the presence of skills or systems in the “organization” as reported by the individuals within the organization. As such, the data contained within this report is not a part of the evaluation of individual teachers. The data in this report is a measure of the system of support within the school and district for development of effective instructional skills, as defined by the “State 8” and the district-selected instructional framework model that will be measured in the teacher evaluation process.
