Exploring the Criteria: Gallery Walk
Group WorkGallery Walk for Themes
Divide into 16 small groups or partners.
Divide a piece of chart paper into horizontal halves and label top of the paper with focus criteria.
Across the top portion, label WHAT KNOWLEDGE AND/OR SKILLS ARE NECESSARY?
Across the bottom portion, label HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ARE IN EVIDENCE?
Post your chart paper.
Gallery Walk for 10 minutes.
What did everyone notice as you were engaging in this activity?
What themes did you notice across all of the charts?
24
Common Themes in the Criteria As you discussed one of the criteria and
walked through the gallery of charts, what common themes do you notice across all of the criteria?

27
Implementing
Self-assess the alignment of their district’s current evaluation system with the required evaluation system reforms and apply
these results to an action plan Build awareness of the eVAL management system purpose,
functions, and features
28
District Self-Assessment Use the self-
assessment on page 5 of the handout packet.
Where does your district fall on a continuum of implementation for significant components of the educator evaluation system?
Discuss as a district team and determine the action steps as a result of your self-assessment.
29
District Action and Communication Planning Work with your team
to complete the 15-30-60 day action planner.
What will you aim to do in your district to advance the planning and preparation of new educator evaluation systems?
Communication Planning can support your implementation actions.
Who do you need to engage and how?

BackgroundeVAL Management SystemeVAL is a web-based tool designed to manage the evaluation process and documentation. Developed in partnership with the Washington Education Association, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Educational Service District 113.
eVAL is: a free resource developed and refined during a year of use
within the Teacher/Principal Evaluation Pilot districts; personalized for each district for their instructional
framework, resources, and documents; voluntary for all districts, who can use as many or as few of
eVAL’s features as they’d like (or none at all); and extremely secure with limited access physically and
virtually to its servers.
31
What is eVAL?
This 4 minute video will overview the eVAL Management System. This overview includes the rationale for the development of eVAL, its functions and features, the value eVAL provides to educators in Washington, and the next steps you can take to learn more about eVAL.
http://tpep-wa.org/resources/eval/eval-video-walkthroughs/
32
How does our district get started with eVAL? Districts must do 4 things:1. Contact OSPI to notify Michaela Miller of their
framework choices* ([email protected])
2. Setup staff roles in EDS (see directions on our TPEP/eVAL http://tpep-wa.org/resources/eval/)
3. Have staff login to eVAL through EDS4. Have either the district or school admin, (in
eVAL) assign evaluators to those they evaluate
*INSERT NOTE ABOUT FRAMEWORK SELECTION
33
eVAL FAQ1. Is eVAL setup and ready for
use now? Yes.
2. What are some of the first things staff might do in eVAL? Many districts are asking staff to conduct self assessments in eVAL as part of their introductory processes. An additional starting place may be to have staff use their self assessment to either set goals in eVAL on their own (self-directed) or respond to goal setting prompts created by the district, their school or their supervisor.
3. If principals evaluate vice-principals in our district, can they use eVAL for this purpose? Right now principals cannot evaluate vice-principals in eVAL. Check the website for the latest updates. An update in mid-late September should address this issue.
4. I can't see all the teachers in eVAL (or other staff), what is happening? I know they were setup in EDS. The most common cause is they teachers (or other staff) have not logged in to eVAL through EDS. We do not get automatic updates from EDS, so staff must log in to eVAL through EDS for changes to take effect (this includes if staff roles change, or if they move from one school to another).
