Our focus today is the P in TPEP.
Today our focus is on the “P” in TPEP and the call for shared leadership
in our schools.
TPEP is no longer a pilot.
A new professional growth culture is here...

What does the law say about Principal Evaluation?
• 2013-14 Districts transition to new system
• You can still be evaluated on the old system
• 2014-15 Districts transition to the new system
• You can still be evaluated on the old system
• 2015-16 All principals evaluated on the new system
• Some will be on comprehensive
• Some will be on focused
• Both options will include student growth*
*…We’ll talk about this...
Why are we spending time on this today?
• ESD 112 Session 4 Work Group Meeting:
• Purpose: Ensure that the principal evaluation cycle is also a professional
growth cycle.
• Objective: We are going to take time to walk through each of the eight
criteria of the Principal Evaluation Criteria in order to better understand the
collective and shared responsibility of leading our schools.
Artifacts vs. Evidence
As principals begin working on providing artifacts/evidence of their
effectiveness as a leader, what are they really collecting?
Artifacts or evidence?
What is the difference?
Artifacts or Evidence
(Dictionary Definition)
Artifact
Evidence
• An object produced or shaped
by human craft
• Something which shows that
something else exists or is true
• That which tends to prove or
disprove something
Check for Understanding & Warm-up:
“I’m the principal, my assistant principal takes care of all the
emergency and safety planning for my building, I’m not sure what
I would be evaluated on for Criteria 2: Ensuring School Safety.”

The big picture of evaluation…
Let’s talk student growth…
What does the law say about principal evaluation &
student growth?
• 2013-14 Districts transition to new system
• You can still be evaluated on the old system
• 2014-15 districts transition to the new system
• You can still be evaluated on the old system
• 2015-16 all principals evaluated on the new system
• Some will be on comprehensive
• Some will be on focused
• Both options will include student growth*
*What was the final result of this year’s legislative
session around student growth?
Student growth language
“student growth means the change in student achievement between
two points in time.”
“student growth data must be a substantial factor utilizing the OSPI
approved student growth rubrics.”
“Student growth data means relevant multiple measures that can
include classroom-based, school-based, school district-based, and
state-based tools.”
Principal Evaluation Criteria
1. Creating a school culture that promotes the ongoing improvement of learning and teaching for students
and staff
2. Providing for school safety
3. Leading development, implementation and evaluation of a data-driven plan for increasing student
achievement, including the use of multiple student data elements
4. Assisting instructional staff with alignment of curriculum, instruction and assessment with state and local
district learning goals
5. Monitoring, assisting and evaluating effective instruction and assessment practices
6. Managing both staff and fiscal resources to support student achievement and legal responsibilities
7. Partnering with the school community to promote student learning
8. Demonstrating commitment to closing the achievement gap
Student Growth Example:
• Criteria 5: Improving instruction
• “I’ve submitted all of my classroom observation notes as evidence of
my efforts to improve instruction in my building.”
• Are the notes artifacts or evidence?
• How can classroom observation notes be connected to student growth?
• What can this look and sound like to become a data driven piece of
evidence?
Two Minute Chew
The big picture of evaluation…
How significant is student growth for teachers and principals in
their final evaluation?
What does all this mean to you?
• Keep calm and carry on
• Use common sense as you move forward
• Create systems of shared leadership
• Communicate, collaborate and growth together
• Keep in mind the magnitude and impact of your influence on students in your
school/district, and don’t get distracted by the language battle around student
growth.
You make a difference everyday in the lives of kids.
