What language do you use or hear from others that provides a focus to equitable teaching in your classroom(s), school(s) and district?

How is this language connected or could be connected to your district’s research based instructional framework? What are some tools you use or might use to support the connection?

“Who” are the students that teachers and administrators need to know, notice and consider when making equitable instructional decisions at the classroom, school and district level?

Discuss as a district or table: Share highlights of what you heard from others in the room so far this morning. What is your system working on regarding equitable teaching practices? What would be helpful outcomes of today or future sessions to support this work as connected to your evaluation system? District Representative- Prepare for District Introduction: 60 seconds or less!

Moises- An Introduction to a Student and Considerations for Equitable Teaching Practices

Individual Reflection Considering the context in your district: “Who” are the students that teachers and administrators need to know, notice and consider when making instructional decisions at the classroom, school and district level?

Moises’ Story Individual Reflection: What are Moises’ assets? How might a system advantage Moises to support his learning?

Think and Talk: What are Moises assets? How might a system advantage Moises to support his learning? What are some skills and dispositions teachers and evaluators need to support “Moises” in your system? How does evidence of these skills and dispositions connect with your “Toolkit”, including your researched based instructional framework?

Growing Teacher and Principal Practice: An Evaluation System Toolkit for Districts Sue Anderson and Jeannie Harmon

Think and talk… How much would you estimate your district spends on Educator Growth and Evaluation implementation each year? How many hours would you estimate your teachers, principals and assistant principals, and principal evaluators spend on Educator Growth and Evaluation each year? What are some expectations you have for this investment of time and resources? Are they being met?

Purpose of the Toolkit Provide a “touchstone” for best practices in educator growth and evaluation. Offer a “third point” for discussions about effective and ineffective practices, and for future planning.

Structure of the Toolkit Four elements: District Leadership Professional Learning – Teachers Professional Learning – Principals and Principal Evaluators Foundational and Routine Procedures For each element: Description Key indicators of quality practice Descriptors for the indicators, with an opportunity to self-assess Vignettes of problematic practice and discussion questions Reflections and next steps Resources

For our work today: What’s most meaningful or helpful? What’s missing? What’s not clear? What training content/strategies would support the “roll-out”? What additional ideas do you have for vignettes, resources, etc.?

Deeper Dive into the “Toolkit” AESD

Reading Protocol Option Form “traid or partnerships” at tables or between tables. Decide where to start reading and where to stop Individually read Stop and discuss Repeat until finished reviewing four elements When finished, discuss and respond to OSPI feedback requests.

One way for Triads/Partners to Review One way for Triads/Partners to Review. Decide where to start and stop reading. See notes organizer. = This is really meaningful and important. I want to remember to apply this idea more often. = Missing consideration: Make note of your thinking- Enter thought on OSPI organizer. = I wonder about this idea. How does this idea fit or might fit with our Teacher and Principal Evaluation Program? How have others applied this idea? Triad Reading Protocol Say Something… Triads read, mark text and stop at the end of each standard. They then say something about each of the categories as described by symbols. Once finished they engage in district conversation. Need to time this out and consider what standards we touch on first… I’ll have more thinking for you tomorrow and once I see the most recent version of the standards.
