WA-TPL VISION

The project will focus on enhancing critical state and regional-level infrastructures and capacity for sustained, results-driven, standards-based statewide and regional professional learning so…

School district and building leaders have the knowledge and skills to create the conditions necessary for every educator within their districts to increase their instructional capacity to make the instructional shifts that new Career- and College-Ready learning standards entail.


THEORY OF ACTION

• IF OSPI, in partnership with ESDs, professional associations, and education agencies, develops the capacity of education leaders at all levels to establish the conditions, resources, and supports for educator effectiveness grounded in student and educator standards, AND

• IF districts establish conditions, resources, and supports for educator effectiveness grounded in student and educator standards, AND

• IF every educator engages in and applies standards-based, job-embedded, continuous professional learning that includes district, school, and classroom support for implementation grounded in student and educator standards, AND

• IF, as a result of professional learning, every educator changes their knowledge, skills, and disposition, and applies what they have learned in the classroom,

• THEN, every student in Washington will achieve career and college-readiness in English language arts, mathematics, and science


THEORY OF ACTION SIMPLIFIED

1. Standards-based professional learning

knowledge, skills, and dispositions

4. Changes in studentresults
