Overview of Intended Participant Outcomes for Part B
The Module described how using multiple measures strengthens a teacher evaluation system
Teacher self-assessment is one source of evidence that can be used to measure teacher performance as part of a comprehensive teacher evaluation system

Self-Assessment as One Piece of the Puzzle
Work with your district team to describe the processes, practices, and structures already in place in your district that support: Teacher and principal analysis of student data Teacher and principal reflection

The self-assessment process supports good teaching and leading practices of: Analyzing student data Focus on student learning Reflection on practice

Why Use Self-Assessment in Educator Evaluation?
Self-assessment is a process for reflecting on an educator’s instructional, leadership, and professional practice strengths and weaknesses in light of the needs of the students he or she serves.
Requires Asking: What do my students need? What do I need to meet all my students’ needs?
13
Defining Self-Assessment
Step 1: Student data analysis Teachers and principals analyze data on incoming
students and identify areas of growth and strength
14
Best Practices in Self-Assessment
A capital “G!” indicates that the guidance represents Washington state law (RCW) or rules (WAC).
A lower-case “g” indicates that the guidance represents research-based best practice but is not mandated by law or rules.

Step 2: Professional practice rating Teachers use the instructional framework to rate
their current level of practice and identify areas of growth and strength

Implementing
Articulate the ways an instructional and leadership framework can operationalize the revised
evaluation system to improve teaching and learning
Analyze the instructional frameworks to support district decision-making in selecting an instructional
framework and a leadership framework
Work with your district team complete the “Leading a High-Quality Self-Assessment” worksheet Create a plan for preparing teachers to conduct
self-assessments
If your district stated it was “undecided” in how self-assessments should be used in the connecting activity, begin by determining how self-assessment will be used as part of teacher evaluation
23
Leading a High-Quality Self-Assessment
Each team share two things to debrief our implementing tasks:1. One key message about self-assessment you will
share with teachers2. One area where you anticipate teacher confusion
—and how you plan to address that confusion
