9. Moises- An Introduction to a Student and Considerations for Equitable Teaching Practices

10. Individual Reflection
Considering the context in your district: “Who” are the students that teachers and administrators need to know, notice and consider when making instructional decisions at the classroom, school and district level?

11. Moises’ Story
Individual Reflection:
What are Moises’ assets? How might a system advantage Moises to support his learning?

13. Think and Talk:
What are Moises assets? How might a system advantage Moises to support his learning?
What are some skills and dispositions teachers and evaluators need to support “Moises” in your system?
How does evidence of these skills and dispositions connect with your “Toolkit”, including your researched based instructional framework?

14. Growing Teacher and Principal Practice: An Evaluation System Toolkit for Districts Sue Anderson and Jeannie Harmon

15. Think and talk…
How much would you estimate your district spends on Educator Growth and Evaluation implementation each year?
How many hours would you estimate your teachers, principals and assistant principals, and principal evaluators spend on Educator Growth and Evaluation each year?
What are some expectations you have for this investment of time and resources? Are they being met?

16. Purpose of the Toolkit
Provide a “touchstone” for best practices in educator growth and evaluation.
Offer a “third point” for discussions about effective and ineffective practices, and for future planning.

17. Structure of the Toolkit
Four elements:
District Leadership
Professional Learning – Teachers
Professional Learning – Principals and Principal Evaluators
Foundational and Routine Procedures
For each element:
Description
Key indicators of quality practice
Descriptors for the indicators, with an opportunity to self-assess
Vignettes of problematic practice and discussion questions
Reflections and next steps
Resources

18. For our work today: What’s most meaningful or helpful? What’s missing?
What’s not clear?
What training content/strategies would support the “roll-out”?
What additional ideas do you have for vignettes, resources, etc.?

19. Deeper Dive into the “Toolkit” AESD

20. Reading Protocol Option
Form “traid or partnerships” at tables or between tables.
Decide where to start reading and where to stop
Individually read
Stop and discuss
Repeat until finished reviewing four elements
When finished, discuss and respond to OSPI feedback requests.

21. One way for Triads/Partners to Review
One way for Triads/Partners to Review. Decide where to start and stop reading. See notes organizer.
= This is really meaningful and important. I want to remember to apply this idea more often.
= Missing consideration: Make note of your thinking- Enter thought on OSPI organizer.
= I wonder about this idea. How does this idea fit or might fit with our Teacher and Principal Evaluation Program? How have others applied this idea?
Triad Reading Protocol
Say Something…
Triads read, mark text and stop at the end of each standard. They then say something about each of the categories as described by symbols.
Once finished they engage in district conversation.
Need to time this out and consider what standards we touch on first… I’ll have more thinking for you tomorrow and once I see the most recent version of the standards.
