In Washington…
A capital “G!” indicates that the guidance represents Washington state law (RCW) or rules (WAC).
A lower-case “g” indicates that the guidance represents research-based best practice but is not mandated by law or rules.

ESSB 5895 Establishes New Definitions Around Student Growth Measures
Both E2SSB 6696 and ESSB 5895 contain language around student growth, including:
• 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.
Changes…• 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.

Defining Key Terms
• Student Achievement: The status of subject-matter knowledge, understandings, and skills at one point in time.
• Student Growth (Learning): The growth in subject-matter knowledge, understandings, and skill over time.
It is student growth, not student achievement, that is relevant in demonstrating impacts teachers and principals have on students.

Student Growth Theory of Action
13
The district and board of directors have
presented a vision for student learning that
starts with the students, data, and standards…
Then teachers and principals will set
meaningful learning targets and monitor
growth for all students…
(3.1, 6.1, 8.1)
And specific outcomes for
students will result in all students
reaching their full learning potential.
(3.2, 6.2)

Unpacking the Growth Rubrics
Target 1: Learn and apply the student growth rubric structure and language
![Page 20: Student Growth in Teacher Evaluations Sept. 25 1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ece5503460f94bdb2c0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Student Growth Rubrics
• The TPEP steering committee organizations approved statewide rubrics for student growth to ensure consistency in implementation of the evaluation system across Washington State. – The rubrics for student growth describe both goal
setting and outputs of student learning. • OSPI has provided student growth rubrics for each
of the three criterion – Teachers: 3, 6, and 8– Principals: 3, 5, and 8

Using District, School, and Classroom-Based Data (Teachers)
• Five Student Growth Criteria– 3.1 Establish Student Growth GoalsRe: individual or subgroups of students (achievement/opportunity gap)
– 3.2 Achievement of Student Growth GoalsRe: 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 GoalsRe: whole class based on grade-level standards and aligned to school and district goals
– 8.1 Establish Team Student Growth GoalsRe: Teacher as part of a grade-level, content area, or other school/district team

23
Unpacking the Student Growth Rubric • Individually:
– Read across the rows and highlight the key descriptions of performance at each level.
– Look down the column and circle the key words or ideas that best summarize each of the four performance levels.
• As a Student Growth Criterion Expert Group answer these questions and create 3 charts:– What are the key differences
between proficient and distinguished? Between proficient and basic? Between basic and unsatisfactory?
– What does a teacher need to know, say, and do to demonstrate proficiency on these rubrics? Create a chart for each criterion.Criterion ___

Share Out!
• Each team names for the large group a key characteristic of the student growth rubric – either in terms of a performance level description or in terms of the key actions needed by teachers.
• Each team names 1 thing that teachers need to know, say, or do to demonstrate proficiency on the student growth rubric.

28
Using the Rubrics
• In a practical sense, we want growth goals to not be too large, not be too small, but just right (think Goldilocks and the three bears). Not too broad, not too narrow, but just right.
• Another way to think of the three student growth criteria is analogous to ‘nesting dolls,’ moving from large to small (8 to 6 to 3) or small to large (3 to 6 to 8)

Example of “Nested” Goals3.1 Establish Student Growth Goals (individual or subgroups of students)Between September and May, ELL students, using a literary text, will cite text-based evidence to support prediction, inference, and opinion; as measured by a 4-point rubric for short answer responses, essay, oral discussion, and debate; using support such as differentiated text, a scaffold frame, or an oral reader. 6.1 Establish Student Growth Goals Using Multiple Student Data Elements (whole class based on grade-level standards and aligned to school and district goals)Between September and May, students will use appropriate literary texts to provide text-based evidence to support prediction, inference, and opinion as measured by a 4-point rubric for short answer responses, essay, oral discussion, or debate.
8.1 Establish Team Student Growth Goals (teacher as part of a grade-level, content area, or other school/district team)Between September and May, all 8th grade students will use appropriate literary texts to provide text-based evidence to support prediction, inference, and opinion as measured by a 4-point rubric for short answer responses, essay, oral discussion, or debate. Teaching team will meet every six weeks through the year to examine student work and calibrate expectations.

Literacy: Informational Text Writing K-5
Too Narrow JUST RIGHT Too Broad
6.1Whole Group
All students (with 100% accuracy) will determine the meaning of the root word when the affix ‘un’ is added.
In the 2013-2014 year students in my science class will accurately identify, define, and use vocabulary appropriate to the rocks and minerals content area. Tier II word use will transfer to other subject areas, e.g., observation, properties. This will be measured through a pre-test, formative assessment, think~write~pair~share, reflective writing, and a post-test.
All of my students will understand and apply grade level vocabulary to content areas.

Creating a Student Growth Goal
Target 3: Establish student growth goals, and a process for determining the change in student achievement between two points in time Target 4: Select classroom-based, school-based, district-based, and state-based tools and use student learning data in educator evaluation
![Page 32: Student Growth in Teacher Evaluations Sept. 25 1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ece5503460f94bdb2c0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Alignment Considerations
• Assessments should cover key subject and grade-level content standards.
• No items, questions, or prompts should cover standards that the course does not address.
• The assessment structure should mirror the distribution of teaching time devoted to course content.
• The cognitive demands of the assessment should match the full range of cognitive thinking required during the course.

33
Validity and Reliability Considerations
• The assessment should– Be valid—it measures what it says it measures.
• Consistent with other evidence.• Relevant for its purpose.
– Be reliable—it produces consistent results.– Contain clearly written and concise questions and
directions.– Be fair to all groups of students.– Use consistent administration procedures.

District-Determined Measures
• CPSD will determine the classroom-, school-, and/or district-based tools used to measure and report student growth data
• A student growth goal describes what students will know/be able to do at the end of an instructional period based on course- or grade-level content standards and district curriculum
• Student growth data means relevant multiple measures using classroom-based, school-based, district-based, and state-based tools

Establishing a focus for the student growth goal(s) is a critical first step. This can be done in an instructional team, in a conference between teacher and principal, or individually.
What is a student growth goal?A description of what students will know/be able to do at the end of an instructional period based on course- or grade-level content standards and curriculum.
Step 1: Establishing the Focus for Student Growth
![Page 40: Student Growth in Teacher Evaluations Sept. 25 1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ece5503460f94bdb2c0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Step 2: Documenting Assessments and Scoring
• Assessments should be standards-based, of high quality, and designed to best measure the knowledge and skills found in the learning goal. The assessment should be accompanied by clear criteria or rubrics to describe what students have learned.
![Page 41: Student Growth in Teacher Evaluations Sept. 25 1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ece5503460f94bdb2c0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Assessments and Scoring
• We need high-quality assessments to evaluate the extent to which students have achieved the goals
• Some thoughts before delving into “assessments”:– Think broadly about “assessment” (e.g., performance
assessments, project-based)– Do not let the assessment drive the goal; the assessment
should be used to support learning goals (let’s move to “enduring understandings”)
– The learning goal and assessment should be things that teachers would use in the classroom as part of good instructional practice
![Page 42: Student Growth in Teacher Evaluations Sept. 25 1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ece5503460f94bdb2c0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Evaluating Goals for Criterion SG 8.1Review 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
