AWSP Leadership Framework Proposed Student Growth Goal Revisions

Submit Your Feedback on the Proposed Student Growth Goal Revisions by March 31st

Over the past couple of years, a workgroup comprising principals, assistant principals, and district leaders, along with AWSP and OSPI staff, developed revised Student Growth Goals for the AWSP Leadership Framework. This work followed OSPI’s introduction of revised Student Growth Goals for teachers during the 2024-25 school year, which shifted the focus from comparing two points of student data to examining the learning journey—the instructional decisions teachers make, the conditions students experience, and the factors that influence growth over time.

Teachers and supervisors across the state responded positively. Many shared that the new goals led to more meaningful conversations, deeper reflection, and a stronger emphasis on professional learning. This aligns perfectly with the foundational belief behind Washington’s evaluation system: that growth—for educators and leaders—should be at the heart of every evaluation conversation.

And the belief that growth should be behind every evaluation conversation led our workgroup to these revisions, with goals redesigned to better reflect the realities of leadership today and to elevate the role of reflection, equity, and continuous improvement.
