The document discusses the Puyallup School District's instructional framework and its relationship to teacher evaluation processes. The instructional framework provides a common language to discuss effective teaching, give feedback, and improve instruction. It aligns with the district's goal of improving student achievement. Washington state law required new teacher and principal evaluation systems aligned with research-based instructional frameworks. The district selected Danielson's framework model after a committee analyzed options. The framework nests all instructional elements like standards, materials, and evaluations under a shared vision of quality teaching.

PUYALLUP SCHOOL DISTRICT
WHAT it is and WHY we have one
Revised from https://blogs.puyallup.k12.wa.us . . . Framework-and-TPEP-talking-points

2. What is an Instructional Framework?
• An instructional or leadership
framework provides a common
language that is shared by everyone in
the district and is aligned to the
teacher or principal criteria as outlined
in RCW 28A.405.100

3. Why have an Instructional Framework?
• Districts use the common language of
instruction/leadership to converse
about effective teaching and leading,
give and receive feedback, and
collect and act upon data to improve
our craft.

4. How does this align with our strategic
directions?
• The improvement of instruction and student
achievement is our primary goal.

5. What is TPEP?
• TPEP stands for the Teacher and Principal
Evaluation Project
• New Washington state legislation required the
creation of new teacher and principal evaluation
systems.
• The new evaluation system needed to be aligned
with a research-based instructional framework.
• An instructional framework was identified first, then
implementation of TPEP began.

6. How did we identify an instructional
framework for our district?
• A 28 member committee was commissioned by
the superintendent for the purpose of analyzing
the Danielson, Seven Dimensions, and Marzano
instructional frameworks and developing a
recommendation of which model the district
should adopt
• Collaboration among members included
o Teachers appointed by PEA
o Building and Student Learning Dept
administrators

7. Rational in Adopting Danielson’s Model
• Uses teacher voice.
• Clear, concise, understandable
language.
• Provides opportunities for growth.
• Training can be leveraged with other
districts.
