Memo, New Rules on Professional Growth and Evaluation of School Personnel Now Available

January 31, 2013 by Leave a Comment

ESSB 5895 directs OSPI to create rules or WACs for the new evaluation system. The process began in August 2012 and draft rules were available for review in our October bulletin. The rules were created by OSPI in partnership with the Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project (TPEP) Steering Committee organizations. The rules reflect the new requirements in ESSB 5895 and the requirements under the new ESEA Flexibility Waiver. The final version of WAC 392-191A is not currently available online, but we’ve posted it as a PDF in the meantime.

The rules are available as an attachment to OSPI Memo 004-13M, which also provides recommendations on implementation of ESSB 5895 and an update on the Evaluation Professional Learning Modules.
