To what degree has the current evaluation system supported you in improving your practice?
1 = Poorly supported2 = Slightly supported3 = Somewhat supported4 = Completely supported

1. The critical importance of teacher and leadership quality2. The professional nature of teaching and leading a school 3. The complex relationship between the system for
teacher and principal evaluation and district systems and negotiations
4. The belief in professional learning as an underpinning of the new evaluation system
5. The understanding that the career continuum must be addressed in the new evaluation system
6. The system must determine the balance of “inputs or acts” and “outputs or results”

Select two “sticky notes.”
On one, write a hope you have for the teacher and principal evaluation reforms.
On the other, write a concern you have for the teacher and principal evaluation reforms.
Share each with your team, then synthesize into one collective hope and one collective concern.
Discuss as large group. What do you notice?
Hopes? Concerns?

Individual Reflection and Writing Discussion What do you know about
the components of educator evaluation in Washington?
Each chart paper has a specific component in its center. Write your comments about that component around the center.
Where does the main knowledge base center?
What are the main points of confusion?

Individual and Teams Discussion Think about a highly
effective evaluation system, one that addresses your concerns and builds on your hopes; one that is completely supportive to improving your practice as a teacher or principal. Generate 8–10 sticky notes with one idea per note.
With your tabletop group teams, “sort” your characteristics onto a premade “placement” of evaluation system components.
Each team shares which components their sticky notes clustered around and which components received less attention.
What additional components can contribute to the picture of an effective evaluation system for principals and teachers?

pairs. Divide a piece of chart paper
into horizontal halves and label top of the paper with focus criteria.
Across the top portion, label WHAT KNOWLEDGE AND/OR SKILLS ARE NECESSARY?
Across the bottom portion, label HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ARE IN EVIDENCE?
Post your chart paper.

eVAL is a web-based tool designed to manage the evaluation process and documentation. Developed in partnership with the Washington Education Association, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Educational Service District 113.
eVAL is:
A free resource developed and refined during a year of use within the Teacher/Principal Evaluation Pilot districts
Personalized for each district for their instructional framework, resources, and documents
Voluntary for all districts, who can use as many or as few of eVAL’s features as they’d like (or none at all)
Extremely secure, with limited access physically and virtually to its servers
Background eVAL Management System g
![Page 31: Washington State Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project Introduction to Educator Evaluation in Washington 1 June 2013](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd85503460f949a1060/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
What is eVAL?
This four-minute video will overview the eVAL Management System. This overview includes the rationale for the development of eVAL, its functions and features, the value eVAL provides to educators in Washington, and the next steps you can take to learn more about eVAL.

Districts must do four things:1. Contact OSPI to notify Michaela Miller of their
framework choices* ([email protected])
2. Setup staff roles in EDS (see directions on our TPEP/eVAL site: http://tpep-wa.org/resources/eval/)
3. Have staff log into eVAL through EDS4. Have either the district or school admin (in
eVAL) assign evaluators to those they evaluate
How Does Our District Get Started With eVAL? g
![Page 33: Washington State Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project Introduction to Educator Evaluation in Washington 1 June 2013](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd85503460f949a1060/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
1. Is eVAL setup and ready for use now? Yes.
2. What are some of the first things staff might do in eVAL? Many districts are asking staff to conduct self-assessments in eVAL as part of their introductory processes. An additional starting place may be to have staff use their self-assessment to either set goals in eVAL on their own (self-directed) or respond to goal-setting prompts created by the district, their school, or their supervisor.
3. If principals evaluate vice-principals in our district, can they use eVAL for this purpose? Right now principals cannot evaluate vice-principals in eVAL. Check the website for the latest updates. An update in mid-late September should address this issue.
4. I can't see all the teachers (or other staff) in eVAL, what is happening? We do not get automatic updates from EDS, so staff must log in to eVAL through EDS for changes to take effect (this includes if staff roles change, or if they move from one school to another).

Next Module: Using Instructional and Leadership Frameworks in Educator Evaluation
Homework Options District: Explore the eVAL setup instructions and
have any follow-up conversations. District or school: Share the TPEP overview video
at a faculty meeting. School or teams: Ask all teachers and principals to
review the criteria comparison chart and discuss the five themes.
Individual: Watch a short video segment from the TPEP website where Gary Kipp from AWSP explains a crosswalk of the two sets of evaluation criteria.
