Washington TPEP Teacher Observation Preparation

Quick answer: Go Distinguished helps teachers strengthen an existing lesson so evidence connected to Washington TPEP is easier to see through authentic student learning. It does not grade teachers or guarantee a rating.

Because Washington districts use approved instructional frameworks within TPEP, teachers should pair these resources with the exact locally adopted framework and criteria.

Use your local rubric: versions, weights, scoring rules, and approved instruments can differ by district or state. Always compare these resources with the exact current materials used by your administrator.

Evidence-first preparation

For every component, plan the teacher move, student action, student language, artifact, formative evidence, and instructional response that could make quality visible. Avoid adding disconnected “observation tricks.” The strongest evidence should also improve learning when no observer is present.
