Learning Targets
Participants will:
Gain ideas for using SG measures
for evaluation/accountability/PLC
collaboration.
Reflect on lessons learned.
Learn about processes in WA state for
determining and using SG measures.
Learn from the wisdom in the room…

Who is in the room?
Elementary Principals?
Middle School Principals?
High School Principals?
Central Office/Other Administrators
Currently using student growth measures
in teacher evaluation?
Principal evaluation?
Implementing new teacher evaluation?
To being the conversation…
Read the quote on your chair and
discuss with a partner.
Sharing out…

“A key premise is that the teacher’s view
of his or her role is critical.
It is the specific mind frames that
teachers have about their role – and
most critically a mind frame within
which they ask themselves about
the effect that they
are having on student learning.”
Hattie, John. Visible Learning for Teacher: Maximizing Impact on Learning.

What is the current reality
…for using student growth in teacher/principal
evaluation around the country?
Guiding Questions—
Identify state you are from.
How are you using student growth data?
What are lessons learned from your
experience?
Washington State
SG for teachers and principals
The Law
Rubrics
Goal Setting
Summative Scoring
Criteria Themes
Principal and Teacher
WA State law says…
E2SSB 6696 and ESSB 5895 Student
growth data that is relevant to the teacher
and subject matter must be a factor in the
evaluation process and must be based on
multiple measures that can include
classroom-based, school-based, district-
based, and state-based tools. Student
growth means the change in student
achievement between two points in time.
And the law says…
Student growth data must be a substantial factor in evaluating the summative performance of certificated classroom teachers for at least three of the evaluation criteria.
Student growth data elements may include the teacher’s performance as a member of a grade-level, subject matter, or other instructional team within a school when the use of this data is relevant and appropriate.
Summative Scoring
State decision:
Combine only the SG rubric scores to
determine SG impact rating.
A score of “1” in any row will result in
an overall low impact SG impact rating.
This triggers a student growth inquiry
process.
Local decisions:
Student input may be included in the
teacher evaluation process.
Building staff may be included in the
principal evaluation process.
Identifying measures and goals.
Criteria for Teachers and
Principals… Teachers: 3, 6, and 8

Closing the Gap
3.1 Establish Student Growth Goals
Re: individual or subgroups of students (achievement/opportunity gap)
3.2 Achievement of Student Growth Goals
Re: individual or subgroups of students (achievement/opportunity gap)
6.1Establish Student Growth Goals using Multiple Student Data Elements
Re: whole class based on grade-level standards and aligned to school and district goals
6.2 Achievement of Student Growth Goals
Re: whole class based on grade-level standards and aligned to school and district goals
8.1 Establish Team Student Growth Goals
Re: Teacher as part of a grade-level, content area, or other school/district team

Using District, School, and
Classroom-Based Data (Teachers) RCW 28A.405.100
For Principals…
Student growth rubric rows are designed to focus on actual student achievement, rather than principal actions.
Element 3.5 is intended to analyze the achievement of all or most of the students in the school.
Element 5.5 is designed to analyze the achievement of students assigned to a subset of teachers that a principal identifies.
Element 8.3 is designed to analyze subsets of the student population that are identified for the purpose of closing achievement gaps between them and the student population as a whole.

Evaluating Goals for Criterion
SG 3.1
Review of the Learning Goal (s)
Use the following protocol to
confirm that the Learning
Goal has the right size, detail,
and depth necessary.
(proficient level language is
used, please see the critical
attributes resource for
additional levels of
performance)
Check the boxes that apply.
The Learning Goal:
Identifies subgroups and uses data that identifies students not reaching full learning potential (i.e. achievement/opportunity gaps, ELL, special education, highly capable)*
is specific, measureable and time-bound
is based on multiple sources of available data that reveal prior student learning
is aligned to content standards
is appropriate for the context, instructional interval and content standard(s) (grain size)
demonstrates a significant impact on student learning of content (transferable skills)
Identifies formative and summative measures aligned to learning targets to monitor progress towards goals
Student growth criterion 3.2: Make a student learning claim and provide evidence
for the actual outcomes at the end of the instructional period for subgroups not
meeting full learning potential.
Teacher completes the section below.
Make a rating claim
as to the level of the
actual outcomes
based on the goals
for student learning.
Claim
High evidence of learning for all/nearly all students
(Distinguished)
Clear evidence of learning for most students (Proficient)
Some evidence of learning for some students (Basic)
No evidence of learning for most students (Unsatisfactory)
Please provide student learning evidence from at least two points in time that
supports your claim of student learning (2 or more sources):

Lessons learned…
In determining student growth, think
about…
The important skill first, then identify measures.
Involve a team that includes Central Office, HR,
and union representatives.
Be in the “pilot”
Learn from others
Involve teachers
The importance of a communication plan.
Building trust along the way
Action Planning
In groups of 3, talk about 3 actions you want to
take in improving student learning by using data
in this coming school year…
…while STILL creating a culture of learning AND
accountability!
