Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261
• Knowledge, Skill and Performance Standards – Calibrated At All Levels (w/ cultural competency)
• Definition of “master teacher”
• New Assessments -
– “Uniform, statewide, valid and reliable classroom-based means of evaluating teacher effectiveness as culminating measure at preservice level”
– Report on New External and Uniform Pro Cert Assessment
• Length of residency cert / when teacher must pass ProTeach
![Page 3: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Master Teacher – Leg Charge
• Comparable to National Board Certification
• National Board Certification Will = Master Teacher
• Presumed Voluntary – limited #s achieve
• Ties to compensation work group – “concurrent implementation schedule”
![Page 4: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Master Teacher – Status
• Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession – Work Group of Teacher Leaders
• Master = Teacher LEADERS – positive impact on students not enough
• Drafted Master Teacher Standards
• Other state efforts – NONE similar
![Page 5: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Master Teacher – Challenges
• Who decides?
– Peers?
– Administrators?
• How decide?
– Presumed need to ensure objective, valid, reliable process – big cost implications
• Measure?
– Portfolio? Peer Evaluation? Assessment? Defend to Panel? – even bigger cost implications
![Page 6: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Master Teacher – Challenges
• Subject Specific? (Master ____ Teacher)
• For Whom?
– Individual recognition / attainment (like NtlBrd)
– Fund distribution of Master Teacher positions (district allotment)
– Both?
• Lifetime? Renewal (like Ntl Brd)?

Preservice Assessment - Background• All 22 Higher Ed preparation programs use the
same assessment of instructional methodology
• Not valid or reliable enough to use for:
• Requirement for preservice teachers
• Accountability measure for PESB in evaluating programs
• “Uniform, statewide, valid and reliable classroom-based means of evaluating teacher effectiveness as culminating measure at preservice level”
![Page 8: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Preservice Assessment - Status
• Washington State invited to participate in 8 state pilot of nationally-available preservice assessment, based on California’s PACT Assessment
– Council of Chief State School Officers, American Association of Colleges of Education, Stanford University
– Private / Corporate Funding
• Advantages = quality, resources, reciprocity
![Page 9: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Preservice Assessment - Challenges
• Washington and two other states ahead of pilot timeline
• 2261 requires PROPOSAL – including rubrics, cost, administration
• Evidence-based assessments of this type expensive – roughly $500 / candidate
– State investment?
– Institutions recover cost in candidate tuition?
![Page 10: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Available January 2010
• Pilot Results - Nov. PESB
• Option of program or portfolio until Sept. 2011
• 3 entries – evidence of student & teacher work
• Transparent, online, flexible, 14 month window to submit – create portfolio over time
• Variety of support providers – training available
ProTeach Portfolio
![Page 11: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• PESB Awarded GatesFoundation Grant– Research to be conducted by Ctr for Reinventing
Public Ed at UW
– Does Pro Teach identify more effective teachers?
– Reweight exam to better capture variance?
• Results - 2012
ProTeach Portfolio - Research
![Page 12: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PESB Policy Decisions:
• Legislature removed program requirement
– Deregulate + consumer information re: assessment-related support providers
• Between 1/1/10 and 9/1/11, two options
– Pro Cert Program (12/31/11 to verify completion)
– Pro Teach Portfolio (w/ or without program)
• November – remove 2011/12 site visits for remaining programs
![Page 13: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Compensation / Recognition
– Washington has provided compensation for second tier certification since 1987 (BA+45 or MA+0)
– ProTeach may yield NO credits and minimal clock hours
– Overall cost to candidates lower compared to higher ed programs - but assessment cost = $495
– State has established significant incentives and recognition for National Board
ProTeach / Pro Cert - Challenges
![Page 14: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Length of Residency Cert
• At what point should teachers engage in the Professional Certificate process?
– Previously – too drawn out / up to TWELVE years
– Appropriate post induction – years 3-5
• At what point, if not successful on ProTeach will we withdraw licensure?
– Conditions for renewal? Reinstatement?
– Lapses in employment – technology and policy to fairly consider
![Page 15: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Length of Residency Cert - Challenges
• Washington one of few states without electronic certification system
– Currently have no way to contact certified educators / they have to contact us
– Difficult to alert to changes / status of license
– Every teacher should be able to log on and view status of their license
![Page 16: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Required to make it work
• Fully-Funded Beginning Teacher Mentoring Induction – sufficient quantity and quality
• Assessments will inform in desirable way – but who will bear the cost?
– Preservice classroom assessment– ProTeach Portfolio
![Page 17: Legislative Charge - Basic Ed / ESHB 2261](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a9d550346895dc8226a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
STATE OF WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
“Teacher EFFECTIVENESS the greatest single contributor to
student learning”
Among definitions –
•Effective teachers = demonstrate high rates of student
achievement and/or growth (may include broader definition,
but this is core)

Race to the Top – Selection Criteria & WA/PESB Policy
Baseline Criteria Status in WA Discuss / Consider
Alternative Routes must:1.Limit coursework2.Provide intensive induction support3.Permit providers other than higher ed? (Partnership sufficient to satisfy?)
1.Meet Intent2.Needs improvement/state investment3.Current PESB policy prohibits
Should PESB explore options for / will legislature expand via RCW field of preservice providers? Encourage / incentivize partnerships instead?

Race to the Top – Selection Criteria & WA/PESB Policy
Plan Criteria Status in WA Discuss / Consider
Plan for differentiating teacher and principal effectiveness based on performance – multiple categories – including student achievement• Evaluation linked to PD• Link to compensation
OSPI WAC / RCW re: evaluation longstanding / untouched
Since 03, PESB advocated for linking comp in part to licensure levels
PESB advisory role & updating evaluation policy?
Continue to advocate for pay bump for professional certification; esp now with ProTeach Portfolio
