HB 2334: Teacher and principal eval

Establishing a statewide plan for implementing revised teacher and principal evaluation systems to support continuous professional growth based on the development work of pilot school districts.

Summary

  • Adds details to revised teacher and principal evaluation systems, including a requirement for the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to adopt up to three preferred instructional and leadership frameworks and requiring school districts to adopt a preferred framework.
  • Requires each school district to adopt an implementation schedule that transitions staff to the revised evaluation systems beginning no later than 2013-14, with full transition no later than 2016-17.
  • Defines "not satisfactory" performance for teachers and principals.
  • Requires annual comprehensive evaluations for teachers and principals under the revised systems, but allows for a focused evaluation for those who have received one of the top two evaluation ratings for four consecutive years, as long as comprehensive evaluations are completed once every three years.
  • Directs the OSPI to develop a professional development program to support implementation of the revised systems, and requires principals and administrators to engage in professional development before the systems are implemented.
