Gary Kipp Executive Director AWSP / / E2SSB6696- new criteria, 4 tiered, growth model ESSB5895 accountability Principal criteria developed by AWSP – “What responsibilities do principals have that lead to increased learning?” Teacher criteria in 6696 “What teacher actions will result in increased learning?” Teacher and Principal criteria created separately Connected through 5 themes

Digging into the new criteria Brain storm: What does effective instruction look like from a teacher’s perspective and from a student’s perspective? Brain storm: What does effective leadership look like from a teacher’s perspective and a principal’s perspective? Yellow- Teacher Other- Principal

TPEP Criteria Themes

Sort Now looking at the criteria (teacher then principal) Sort your post-it notes into the categories of the state’s criteria

Reflect Which criteria did you ‘cover’ the most? Which criteria did you not cover well? Which of the criteria can be observed (in a planned session)? Which criteria would require more evidence than observation? What are the implications for your team’s work?

Criteria- Digging Deeper Examine the current and revised criteria What relationship do you see between revised teacher and principal criteria? Five themes have emerged, can you predict what they are?

District links What is currently in place (or on the horizon) that will mesh with the shared emphasis among the criteria? Brainstorm, sort and reflect on where you have/don’t have efforts in place. What are the implications for your team’s work?

Framework For Teaching Refers to the 3 instructional frameworks Clear definition of teaching that reflects good teaching Aspects of a teacher’s responsibilities Based on research- validated Comprehensive and Coherent Universal application

What are the 4 tiers? 1. Unsatisfactory 2. Basic 3. Proficient 4. Distinguished

Digging even deeper Criterion 2 Review frameworks (yes all three) How does each of these define the criterion? What is the overarching similarity? What are the differences? What are the implications for your team’s work?
