Entry TaskAs you enter, please take a moment to place a sticky note under the appropriate place on the chart paper. Make sure to put your district name on the note, along with which instructional framework you are using.
Four options include:
1. We know the types of evidence that we will use for criterion scoring and how to derive a criterion score using that evidence.
2. We know the types of evidence that we will use for criterion scoring, but are still working out how to derive a criterion score using that evidence.
3. We know some of the types of evidence that we will use for criterion scoring.
4. We do not know the types of evidence that we will collect for criterion scoring.

pieces of evidence that could be collected to show progress toward that goal.
Think about how the evidence aligns to the criteria.

Learning I: Transforming Evidence
Review the type of evidence needed to assign multiple
criterion scores
Review how to translate multiple forms of evidence to all
eight criterion scores
13
The primary goal of any system of teacher evaluation is to promote teacher and student learning.
Accurate teacher evaluation requires trained observers using a research-based instructional framework. Trained observers make accurate assessments of practice based on evidence.
The value of accurate assessments of practice is to shape the conversations that lead to improved practice.
Embedded in each instructional framework is a system for growth in teaching practice.
Reliability and validity of the instructional framework relies on implementation of the full framework rather than individual components/indicators.
It is imperative to remain in the formative mindset until the final summative rating is determined.

Three sources of information
1. Observations based on your chosen instructional framework
2. Student growth data as measured by student growth rubrics
3. Other evidence relevant to the frameworks

The Evidence Cycle

16
Identify pieces of evidence that the majority of educators will need to collect (e.g., lesson plan, parent communications)
Staff share examples of high-quality pieces of evidence Discuss how they provide evidence of a criterion
score OR how they can cut across multiple criteria
Think about how the pieces of evidence align to the OSPI Guiding Principles
Remember, it’s about collecting quality and a variety of evidence that you already use in your classroom

Within your school team, divide into pairs Each pair will do the following:
Review one set of evidence Complete the evidence cover page for the missing
components Consider these questions:
After reviewing these pieces of evidence, do you have enough evidence to make an accurate assessment of practice?
Do these pieces of evidence provide sufficient evidence to help shape a conversation that will improve practice?
How can these pieces of evidence be used for teacher growth in practice?

Learning II: Summative Scoring
Understand how the instructional framework rubric and student growth rubrics are used within the
summative scoring methodology for the formative and comprehensive evaluations
Assign a summative score to teachers or principals using the instructional framework rubrics and student growth rubrics for the formative and
comprehensive evaluations
20
Things to remember: It is a process, not a final rating! Balance between professional judgment and
transparent rating process Uniformity and transparency in developing the
summative rating

classroom teachers not on level 3 or level 4 receive comprehensive evaluation
All classroom teachers shall receive a comprehensive summative evaluation at least once every four years

(3, 5, and 8) “Due to the importance of instructional leadership
and assuring rater agreement among evaluators, particularly those evaluating teacher performance, school districts are encouraged to conduct comprehensive summative evaluations of principal performance on an annual basis.”

Three Steps to Assign Comprehensive Evaluation System Step 1: Assign Preliminary Summative Score Step 2: Determine Impact on Student Learning Step 3: Use the Summative Rating and Impact on
Student Learning Matrix to determine summative score

Total Summative Score 22
Evaluators place teachers into preliminary summative rating categories based on score bands. As shown, this teacher would receive a preliminary overall summative rating of proficient.

** A student growth score of “1” in any of the student growth rubrics will result in a low growth rating.

Step 3: Use the Summative Rating and Impact on Student Learning Matrix to determine summative score Educators with preliminary rating of distinguished
with average or high student growth rating: These educators will receive an overall distinguished rating and will be formally recognized and/or rewarded (per regulations).
Educators with preliminary rating of unsatisfactory and high student growth rating: These evaluations will be reviewed by the evaluator’s supervisor when an educator is rated unsatisfactory and receives a high student growth rating. The supervisor will take these discrepancies into account in the evaluator’s evaluation.
Educators who receive a score of 1 on the achievement of student growth goals will automatically receive a low student growth rating.

Learning Activity: Putting the Pieces Together
31
Find an individual from another district using the same framework
Discuss three main questions Did you come up with the same summative
score? Why or why not?
How do/how will the five steps fit in with your district's current process? Will you have to make big changes or adjust a few
things? How can/will the summative scoring process be
used as a way to promote professional growth?
Putting the Pieces Together Debrief
32
Includes an assessment of one of the eight criteria
Student growth rubrics from one of the three criteria If a teacher chooses criterion 3, 6, or 8, their
accompanying student growth rubrics will be used.
If a teacher chooses criterion 1, 2, 4, 5, or 7, the accompanying student growth rubrics from criterion 3 or 6 will be used.
Approved by the teacher’s evaluator

Split into pairs. You will reteach each other the process of the focused evaluation process. When you reteach, provide an example from the
teacher or principal framework your district uses.
Partner 1: Reteach the focused evaluation process when educator selects a criterion that includes student growth.
Partner 2: Reteach the focused evaluation process when educator selects a criterion that does NOT include student growth.

Implementing
Supports teams in problem solving and planning next steps for schools and districts
38
Create a plan for implementing the data collection process and how that will be used for summative evaluation.
Use Handout 11 (Implementation Planning – Three Steps) from your packet to structure your conversation with your school team.
This packet is similar what you did at the end of the Preparing and Applying Formative Multiple Measures of Performance module If you have completed part of it, go back through
your decisions and refine them based on this module, and any other modules you have completed since then.

Homework Options District: Continue to work on a district teacher
evaluation guidebook that includes all of the nuts and bolts of the teacher evaluation process. Use the information you recorded on the “Implementation Planning” handout as a starting place.
School or Teams: Identify the processes and procedures at your school for how the evidence teachers collect will be organized and stored for effective implementation of the summative scoring process.
