Starting in the 2024-2025 school year, all WA state districts will be required to use the revised student growth goal rubrics with their teachers. OSPI has revised the student growth goal rubrics in order to promote instructional practices that are culturally responsive, socially and emotionally literate and include each and every student. On April 18th we heard from districts that have been working to pilot these goals with their teachers. District teams held breakout sessions where they shared their stories, strategies and structures for the implementation of these rubrics and how they are positively impacting teacher practice.
Central to the revisions to the rubrics for 3.1, 6.1, and 8.1 is the recognition that culturally responsive teaching relies heavily on writing a goal that is based on the teacher’s knowledge of their students’ cultural, academic, and social/emotional assets, and is cognitively and emotionally engaging. Author and cultural responsive trainer, Dr. Adeyemi Stembridge, provided a keynote on how student growth goals advocate for equity and culturally responsive practices.
