5D Plus & TPEP
About The 5D+ Framework
The 5D was developed when UW Center for Educational Leadership – CEL faculty conducted a thorough review of the literature in both the learning sciences and effective teaching practices, and mined the instructional expertise from some of the very best teachers and school leaders in Washington and across the country
. The 5D framework provides critical questions for school and district leaders to consider as they observe the teaching and learning process and builds on:
- Purpose: Setting a clear, meaningful course for student learning
- Student engagement: Encouraging substantive, intellectual thinking
- Curriculum and pedagogy: Ensuring that instruction challenges and supports all students.
- Assessment for student learning: Using ongoing assessment to shape and individualize instruction
- Classroom environment and culture: Creating classrooms that maximize opportunities for learning and engagement
The 5D framework helps teachers and leaders develop a common language and a shared vision as they undertake the hard work of improving student achievement.
About TPEP
What is TPEP?
The Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project (TPEP) is part of a broad education reform bill passed by the Washington State Legislature in 2010. The law establishes that teachers and principals will be evaluated based on a four-tiered system.
What are the core principles of TPEP?
- Quality teaching and leading is critically important.
- Professional learning is a key component of an effective evaluation system.
- Teaching and leading is work done by a core team of professionals.
- Evaluation systems should reflect and address the career continuum.
- An evaluation system should consider and balance “inputs or acts” with “outputs or results.”
- Teacher and principal evaluation models exist within the complex relationship between district systems and negotiations.
