arm of the University of Washington College of Education dedicated

to eliminating the achievement gap that continues to divide our

nation’s children along the lines of race, class, language and

disability.

The Road to Powerful Instructional Practice Through the 5D+™ Teacher Evaluation Rubric

CEL’s Theory of ActionFoundational Ideas If students are not learning they are not being afforded powerful

learning opportunities.

Teaching is a highly complex and sophisticated endeavor.

Practice of sophisticated endeavors only improves when it is open for public scrutiny.

Improving practice in a culture of public scrutiny requires reciprocal accountability.

Reciprocal accountability implies a particular kind of leadership to improve teaching and learning.

Leaders cannot lead what they don’t know.


Developing the Leadership Expertise to Improve Instruction: A Two-part Equation

1. Developing a common language and shared vision for high quality instruction – the better we see, the better we are able to lead.

2. Developing greater expertise in leading for instructional improvement – the better we lead, the better we are able to improve teaching practice and thus learning for all students.

Performance Levels


Progressive Performance Level Language





Valid, Reliable and Psychometrically Sound

Valid – Does the tool assess what it purports to assess?

Reliable – Do two more more observers give the same score for the same observation?

Reliability and validity reside in the implementation of the tool.

Consistency across levels.

One best practice per indicator / component.


The Reliability Research

4-6 observations per school year.

Each observation 15 minutes in length.

Second observer.
