What is an Instructional

Framework?• An instructional or leadership

framework provides a common language that is shared by everyone in the district and is aligned to the teacher or principal criteria as outlined in RCW 28A.405.100

Why have an Instructional

Framework?• Districts use the common language

of instruction/leadership to converse about effective teaching and leading, give and receive feedback, and collect and act upon data to improve our craft.

How does this align with our

strategic directions?• The improvement of instruction and student

achievement is our primary goal.

What is TPEP?• TPEP stands for the Teacher and Principal

Evaluation Project

• New Washington state legislation required the creation of new teacher and principal evaluation systems.

• The new evaluation system needed to be aligned with a research-based instructional framework.

• An instructional framework was identified first, then implementation of TPEP began.

How did we identify an instructional

framework for our district?

• A 28 member committee was commissioned by the superintendent for the purpose of analyzing the Danielson, Seven Dimensions, and Marzano instructional frameworks and developing a recommendation of which model the district should adopt

• Collaboration among members includedo Teachers appointed by PEAo Building and Student Learning Dept

administrators

Rational in Adopting Danielson’s Model

• Uses teacher voice.

• Clear, concise, understandable language.

• Provides opportunities for growth.

• Training can be leveraged with other districts.
