Examine the polarities we manage in our work with TPEP
Grapple with newly developed rules and guidelines
around evaluation and implications for districts
Identify decisions that need to be made by the district in
order to implement the new evaluation system
Begin to design and flesh out a district process for
teacher evaluation, including student growth measures
Update Communication Plan
TPEP Core Principles
The critical importance of teacher and leadership quality
The professional nature of teaching and leading a school
The complex relationship between the system for teacher and
principal evaluation and district systems and negotiations
The belief in professional learning as an underpinning of the new
evaluation system
The understanding that the career continuum must be addressed
in the new evaluation system
The system must determine the balance of “inputs or acts” and
“outputs or results”

Polarity Management






Dilemma or tension among two values
Requires management rather than problem solving
Either/or perspective replaced by both/and
Both values in service of a higher purpose
Both values are good and necessary
Challenge is to manage the right balance

Professional Growth and Evaluation
In groups of three, discuss and
complete the organizer for this
polarity. (5 minutes)
Team Discussion
Take a moment to reflect on the current
system in your district. Is there a balance of
professional growth and evaluation?
What factors contribute to your current
reality?
What might you need in order to reach your
optimal state?

1. practices already in place in your district
2. practices that are different than current practice
3. practices that are required by law
4. practices that are not required by law but
support teacher growth
Implications

Whip – Each person shares what they learned
(up to 3 minutes per person)
Whip – Each person identifies one implication for
the work moving forward. Record on chart

Student Growth


As a team, choose to examine student growth for
teachers or principals
Use the question prompts to guide your
discussion
Choose a recorder to type your responses into
the shared electronic space
Student Growth: Teacher
1. Review the student growth rubrics. What artifacts and evidence might a teacher
share with an evaluator to demonstrate proficiency on the student growth rubrics?
2. What are some question prompts that might be used at the beginning of the year
to help a teacher set goals and use multiple measures to monitor student growth?
3. What are some question prompts that might be used at the end of the year to
help a teacher evaluate progress towards goals?
4. What common district assessments do you already use in your district? Please
place an asterisk next to the assessments that would be most relevant for the
student growth portion of the evaluation.
5. Which grades and subject areas would need to develop classroombased assessments or develop new common formative-assessments in order
to measure student growth?
6. Based on your discussion, what are some of the decisions that will need to be
made in order to implement the student growth portion of the evaluation?
Student Growth: Principal
1. Review the student growth rubrics. What artifacts and evidence might a principal
share with an evaluator to demonstrate proficiency on the student growth rubrics?
2. What are some question prompts that might be used at the beginning of the year to
help a principal set goals and use multiple measures to monitor student growth?
3. What are are some question prompts that might be used at the end of the year to
help a principal evaluate progress towards goals?
4. What common district assessments do you already use in your district? List, then
place an asterisk next to the assessments that would be most relevant for the
student growth portion of the principal evaluation.
5. Based on your discussion, what are some of the decisions that will need to be made
in order to implement the student growth portion of the principal evaluation?
