The Instructional Framework in the Puyallup School District establishes a common language for effective teaching and leadership, as required by Washington state legislation. It aligns with the Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project (TPEP) to enhance instruction and boost student achievement. A committee analyzed various instructional models, recommending Danielson's approach for its clarity and support for growth. This framework guides professional development, communication, and the implementation of Common Core Standards to promote college and career readiness.
