Elements of Excellence: Strengthening the Bonds
CONFERENCE PROGRAM
ELEMENTS OF
EXCELLENCE
Thank you for choosing the AWSP/WASA 2016 Summer
Conference as your place to grow and flourish in education.
Every school and district experiences elements of excellence
in striving toward continual growth. Through strengthening
professional bonds over the next few days, we hope leaders
from across our state will discover newfound excitement and
enthusiasm for the daily challenges and opportunities we
face in schools.
We packed all three days with thought-provoking speakers,
witty performances, distinguished educator panels, powerful
breakout presentations, and opportunities to strengthen
bonds with other amazing people who are committed to
improving education. Your active participation in sharing
and reflecting on possibilities will ultimately determine the
success of our gathering together. We are here because we
believe education is the key to improving people’s lives in
our state, this nation, and around the world.
This year’s conference is designed to have something for everyone, whether you are just starting to explore essential issues
in education or are already a seasoned expert. So help us to
release the collective energy within each and every one of us.
Get ready to inspire and be inspired. Better schools start here.

Elevating Professional Practice Through Focused
Conversations
S ATU R DAY S E S S I O N D ETA I L S
Anzara Miller, Director of Teacher Professional Practice &
Evaluation, Shoreline SD; and Becky Lee, Principal, Seven Oaks
Elementary, North Thurston PS
Through our work with the teacher evaluation process, we
have learned the value of using instructional frameworks
and data to support professional growth. We can increase
that growth by extending our knowledge, skills, and strategies for engaging in productive conversations with our
teachers. The Learning-Focused Supervision practiced in this
session will help participants learn to leverage conversations that engage teachers’ thinking about their teaching.
We will explore the use of templates and tools to increase
our effectiveness and efficiency while inviting the teacher
to be a partner in continuous learning and improvement of
their practice.
Building Resiliency in the Classroom: Tools for Working
with Students around Adverse Experiences
Jody McVittie, M.D., Director of Programs and Co-founder,
Sound Discipline
This full-day workshop links the brain science of adverse
experiences with practical tools to build powerful learning
communities. They are particularly effective with students
who have had adverse experiences. Dr. McVittie is director
of programs for Sound Discipline, a Seattle-based non profit
that promotes school transformation by integrating site
based data, social learning, and discipline practices. She
combines her experiences as a family physician and her
20 years working with educators in public schools to offer
practical strategies for fostering powerful learning communities. Participants will leave with a strong understanding of
how trauma impacts the brain and how that impacts student
behavior and learning. They will also have practical methods
for creating better connections with students and several
tools for establishing “firmness” and accountability in the
school setting. This is a “hands on” workshop and there will
be opportunities to practice and play with the strategies.

Outliers: How 4 Districts Used Data to Drive Success
Opening Session and Banquet: Capitol Steps
Tim Stensager, Director of Data Governance, OSPI
Location: CC Ballroom 100BC
Location: GH Terrace Room East
Opening remarks by Conference Chair Gary Keeler
Low-income students graduate from high school less often
than non-low-income students. Some school districts have
overcome this disparity and maintain high graduation rates
for this group. What are they doing that leads to student
success? In this full-day session, we will learn from four
larger school districts that have high graduation rates for
all students. These “outlier” districts will share their stories
of success. While their stories are all different, their framework is quite similar. All four districts use a framework for a
comprehensive system that includes:
• Change-driven leadership
• School climate
• Data
• Core instruction
• Multi-tiered system of support
The Capitol Steps began as a comedy
group of Senate staffers who set out to
satirize the very people and places that
employed them. Since they began, the
Capitol Steps have recorded over 30
albums, including their latest, Mock the
Vote. They’ve been featured on NBC,
CBS, ABC, and PBS.

1a.) Supporting Career and College Readiness in
Washington
Linda Drake, Director of Career and College Ready Initiatives;
and Ben Rarick, Executive Director, State Board of Education
MO N DAY S E S S I O N D E TA I L S
Location: CC 101
One of today’s most internationally
recognized voices for quality education
and women’s empowerment, Dr. Tererai
Trent is a symbol of hope for children
around the world. Her new picture book,
The Girl Who Buried Her Dreams in a Can
(October 2015), is based on her story
of perseverance. Dr. Trent grew up in a
cattle-herding family in rural Zimbabwe and always dreamed of getting an
education, but limited by traditional Zimbabwean culture, she
was married with three children by the time she was eighteen.
Undeterred by traditional roles and cultural norms, Tererai
determinedly taught herself to read and write from her brother’s schoolbooks. From those humble beginnings, Tererai has
become a world-renowned scholar, humanitarian, motivational
speaker, educator, mentor, and inspiration, leading the global
charge in the fight for quality education for all children.
Sponsored by:
What does it mean for our students to be career and college
ready, and what helps our students get there? In this session
State Board of Education staff will present on recent work
of the Board and collaborators on defining and supporting
career readiness, as well as college and civics readiness.
The SBE recently conducted a series of workshops on the
implementation of the 24-credit graduation requirements.
The main concerns about the new requirements, and the
strategies and innovations districts are implementing to
address those concerns, will be discussed. Several districts
are looking at competency-based crediting. New guidance on
competency-based crediting is being developed in collaboration with stakeholders. Session participants will have the
chance to ask questions, discuss concerns and share best
practices and strategies to support career and college readiness in all students.

Open Doors Youth Reengagment has partnered successfully
with HS 21+ allowing a pathway for young adults to receive
educational services in a multi age classroom that is outcome
and performance based in a college environment. Learn how
the partnership has worked in our pilot year and what you can
do to support reengagement and the educational attainment
of high school drop outs in your community.
This presentation will provide a lens for how Lincoln Middle
School has created a building-wide philosophy of achievement for every student. During the presentation, participants
will learn about strategies, philosophy, and methods for
gaining buy-in and overcoming the challenges that come
with interventions at the secondary level.
AWSP Leadership Framework: 1, 3, 6, 8

1c.) Community Schools: Creating a Culture of Hope
and Opportunity
Tom Hagley, Chief of Staff; and Tamara Shoup, Director,
Family Engagement and Family-Community Resource Centers,
Vancouver PS
Location: CC 102B
Community schools are a strategy used to unite and mobilize
family, school and community in educating the next generation. They can help reduce barriers to learning, improve
student outcomes and build school and neighborhood assets. Learn how enterprising leadership at Vancouver Public
Schools is creating a dynamic network of community schools
lauded by District Administration and Education Week, and
featured in an Economic Policy Institute national case study.
Return to your district with on-the-ground and system-level
strategies to identify, leverage and retool assets into a community schools movement that addresses key performance
indicators, such as attendance, discipline, and on-time graduation, while creating a culture of hope and opportunity.
AWSP Leadership Framework: 1, 7, 8
1d.) Equity in Action: Go Beyond Admiring the Problem
Location: CC 102C
How can we apply an equity lens to the data we collect and
use in our schools? In this interactive session, attendees will
learn strategies to reveal and display disproportionalities
within a variety of data sources. Protocols will be shared that
can lead to the identification of a problem of practice, as well
as high-leverage strategies to address program gaps. Finally,
attendees will explore ways to monitor and evaluate action
plans to improve student outcomes.
1f.) Standards-Based Grading Aligned to CCSS, TPEP
and Instructional Frameworks
Rich Rasanen, Principal, Onalaska High; and Jeff Davis,
Superintendent, Onalaska SD
Location: CC 201B
With all the changes in education it can be difficult to implement something new. This is how one school is implementing Standards Based Grading and aligning it to TPEP, CCSS,
and the instructional framework as one initiative versus
separate ones.

Mike Deletis, Assistant Principal, Pine Lake Middle, Issaquah SD
Location: 201C
What is your purpose? In this workshop, participants will get
the knowledge and tools to plan and design shared school
wide beliefs. This includes establishing a rationale related
to why shared school beliefs matter and learning a concrete
model on how to identify shared beliefs across a team,
school, or organization. Through a case study of Student
Engagement and a Professional Learning Community model,
participants will analyze the three key components of shared
beliefs; creation, implementation, and sustainability. Participants will be able to walk away with tools (i.e. logic model)
and strategies to create and initiate shared beliefs with their
team, school, or organization.

1j.) Creating Coordinated School-Based Social
Emotional Health and Wellness Supports and Services
for All: Supporting Students in the Development of
Emotion Regulation, Tolerance of Behavioral Distress,
and Coping with Mental Health
Kim Reykdal, School Counselor, Olympia High, Olympia SD, and
Legislative Liaison, Washington School Counselor Association;
Carrie Suchy, Nationally Certified School Psychologist, Ford

Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Behavioral Health Consulting Teacher, Seattle PS
Location: CC 202C
In the field of education, the frequency at which our students
need support with social emotional development, mental
health and wellness development, and managing behavioral
distress can be daily and sometimes hourly. In addition, the
need for educators to be aware of the signs of behavioral distress, how to intervene and access support for their students,
and how to manage crisis situations is critical.
In order for students to reach their maximum potential in
school, the community, and in life, they not only need instruction and guidance in reading, writing, and math, but also in
emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving. A
school and district that understands the needs of the whole
child will observe an increase in graduation rates and academic
achievement and a decrease in suspension and expulsion rates.
Are you aware that you have trained educators working in
your buildings and across your school district that can meet
these ever changing needs? Are you interested in learning
more about what school nurses, school psychologists, school
counselors, and school social workers are professionally
trained to do in regards to social and emotional health and
wellness? Are you interested in learning about how these four
ESA certificated professions are currently being utilized in the
state of Washington? Are you interested in learning about how
these four professions collaborate to provide quality services
to students, their families, and staff? Then please join us.
Universal Design for Learning maintains high achievement
expectations while reducing barriers in instruction and
providing appropriate accommodations and supports for
all learners. Learn about reconstructing your school and
classrooms and how human variability plays out in learning
environments. This presentation draws on more than a decade of research and implementation through the National
Center on Universal Design in Learning and CAST (Harvard
University).

Location: CC 206B
AWSP Leadership Framework: 1, 3, 4, 7, 8
Chehalis School District began a College & Career Readiness
Initiative two years ago that focused on putting “research
into practice.” One key strategy was to couch high quality
instructional practices as a key pillar of College & Career
Readiness throughout the district. This session will include
presentations from Dr. Duane Baker, President of The BERC
Group, along with numerous Chehalis School District administrators and teachers who will each share how their efforts
over the last two years have fundamentally changed the
way teachers teach, how students learn, and how the culture
of the district has shifted to a Pre-K - 12 vision around
College & Career Readiness, with quality instruction at the
core. Dr. Baker will provide the cognitive research base for
the work in Chehalis and will describe how the district put
that research into practice in a way that has transformed
instructional practices across the district. The session will be
organized around the 4 Habits of Quality Instruction and the
tools and processes the district used to bring about significant change in a short period of time.
Chehalis central office administrators, building administrators, and teachers will share how the comprehensive efforts
have led to a change in culture, improved instructional
practices, and improved system outcomes. The team of presenters will share how student engagement in the classroom
has increased, how teachers have worked collaboratively to
align their instructional practices with brain-research, how
the teacher evaluation process has become more doable
and effective, and how the culture of the district has shifted
toward graduating all students college and career ready.
Participants will have opportunities to hear about the journey and outcomes in Chehalis. In addition, participants will
learn about the structures, the strategies, and the systems
that were used to initiate change and that are now being
used to sustain the change over time.
M O N DAY S ES S I O N D ETAI L S
On December 10, 2015, President Obama reauthorized
ESSA as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The new
law builds on key areas of progress in recent years, made
possible by the efforts of educators, communities, parents,
and students across the country. ESSA replaces the previous
reauthorization of ESEA, known as the No Child Left Behind
(NCLB) Act, enacted in 2002, and will be fully operational
in school year 2017-18. In this session, we will provide you
with information on ESSA implementation decisions made
by State Superintendent Randy Dorn, Washington’s ESSA

of Teaching and Learning
Shannon Torres, Executive Director of Teachings and Learning; and
Eric Diener, Principal, Wapato High, Wapato PS
Location: CC 101
Engage, understand and experience the systemic transformational process taking place within Wapato School District
as district leaders engage participants in the instructional
improvement system underpinning the cultural shift taking
place. Wapato secondary educators are currently immersed
in applying to practice the powerful emerging psychological research and strategies that are crucial to transforming
student learning and achievement. This dynamic professional development is the cornerstone of the College Readiness
Math Initiative grant process funded by College Spark WA,
sponsored by OSPI and enacted by Wapato School District
in collaboration with Agile Mind. Created by the Charles A.
Dana Center at the University of Texas at Austin, the Wapato
team chose to engage all middle and high school staff in the
blended learning experience to maximize impact on the secondary school culture. These evidence-based practices have
had a ripple effect on the entire Wapato community.
In this interactive session, Wapato instructional leaders will
explore the theory of action and leadership moves essential
for their district-wide implementation. Key concepts shared
in this session will include structures for sustainable systems
implementation, strengthening student academic identities
through the study of malleability of intelligence and brain
development, persistence and effective effort, self-efficacy
and motivation, and culture of learning and achievement and
enhancing teacher effectiveness and engagement.
2b.) Washington State Leadership Academy

related to teaching and learning!
Voni Walker, Principal, Post Middle; and Amie
Verellen-Grubbs, Director of College Readiness and
Innovative Programs, Arlington PS
Location: CC 102B
See how Post Middle School designed a STEM instructional
model as a vehicle for differentiated learning in math, science, and engineering/manufacturing. Team-taught by three
teachers, the STEM program is a three period block of time
for learning without the confines of the usual bell schedule.
The program was developed as a way to reach students
who were struggling in math and science and also provide
enrichment for students bored in the traditional model.
Targeted students included those served in LAP and those
who have an IEP goal area in math. The remaining group
members (about 50%) self-selected the program model
over their traditional math, science, and an elective class.
The results from our first year pilot have been positive both
academically and emotionally.
2d.) The Key to Recruitment and Retention: Robust
Support for New Teachers
Gail Jessett, Beginning Educator Support Team, Program Specialist; and Marcy Yoshida, Beginning Educator Support Team,
Program Coordinator, OSPI
Location: CC 102C
As district leaders contend with the impact of the current
teacher shortage, much attention has been focused on
recruitment and retention policies. Often, these induction
efforts focus more on teacher retention than on developing
high quality teachers. Principals are in an empowered position to ensure that new teachers do more than just survive
and stay. This session will focus on specific, practical actions
that principals can take to engage new teachers in a robust
induction process that increases teacher efficacy and student
learning. Key content includes:
• Making placement decisions that set new teachers and
their students on the path to success
• Designing supports for new teacher learning
• Matching new teachers with carefully selected and welltrained instructional mentors
• Coordinating professional learning that is differentiated
and responsive to the specific needs of new teachers
• Engaging new teachers in ongoing, formative assessment
that promotes new teacher growth and development and
positively affects student learning
• Examining the Washington State Standards for Beginning
Teacher Induction

sarcasm throughout the presentation...like we have in past
AWSP presentations. Using the metaphor of playing cards and
dominoes, we will cover 4 key areas that have brought success
to our school community, and many other schools we have
presented in recently. Those areas are as follows:
3e.) Hope Matters: Leadership Actions to Inspire
Students
Mark Wenzel, Ph.D., Superintendent; and Peter Donaldson,
Principal, Mt. Erie Elementary, Anacortes SD
Location: CC 201A
The social-emotional well-being of children has become
a focus nationwide. With an increase in adverse childhood
experiences, students achieve more at school with an intentional leadership focus on well-being and resiliency. This
session will examine specific leadership moves that have
emerged as “promising practices” as we address this important aspect of student learning.
• Diamonds—Creating a Positive Staff Culture. Our team will
share several approaches that helped us to earn the trust of
our staff and help celebrate their great successes.
• Clubs—Creating a Positive Community Culture. This section
of the presentation will encompass ideas on positive Public
Relations and Communications with your parents, businesses, and other community stakeholders.
3f.) Winning the Race — A Good Start is Everything:
Building Strong Foundations in Mathematics for PreK2nd Grade
• Hearts—Creating a Positive Student Culture. We will share
with you some ideas on student recognition, management,
and our positive behavioral/reverse discipline model
Anne Gallagher, Director of Mathematics, OSPI
• Spades—Creating Positive Communication with other
entities. This part of our presentation will focus on how
important clear communication is between District level
support staff, other buildings within the district, as well as
outside entities that lend support to the success of our
program.
PreK/Kindergarten through 2nd-grade administrators will be
exposed to research related to early mathematics showing
how essential it is for young children to build facility with
number. Focusing on a strong foundation in both mathematics and reading helps to ensure struggling students are on
a pathway for grade level success. Participants will build an
understanding of how the Pathways in Numeracy document,
outlining the trajectories of learning in mathematics for
children from birth to Grade 3, is used to enhance existing
curriculum and used to support student growth in mathematics. Resources, strategies, and professional development
opportunities in Early Numeracy will be shared, and how
administrators can play a key role in supporting teachers and
closing the achievement gap for young children.

3g.) Positively Affecting High School Graduation Rates:
A School and District Culture
Dan Martell, Principal; and Aaron Cummings, Assistant Principal,
Ephrata High, Ephrata SD
Location: CC 202A
This workshop will review high school practices that affect
graduation rates. A mixture of research and practical steps
will be shared and discussed. Attendees will be encouraged
to participate in sharing their current practices to help
students graduate. The research is clear that certain factors
need to be evident to give students better opportunities
of success. There are also staff and administrative functions which promote a culture of graduation. Ephrata High
School and Ephrata School District have 10 years of 90
percent or higher graduation rates. Come explore with us
some of the factors that create a school and district culture
of graduation.
T U ES DAY S E S S I O N D ETA I L S
One of the most significant roles—and biggest challenges—of
a school leader is to create and maintain a results-focused
learning environment in which students get better when
everyone focuses on the right results. It takes determined
leadership to deal with the implementation of increased academic rigor, new evaluation systems and other demands that
compete for school leaders’ time and efforts. Creating an environment that puts students first is more important than ever
to raise achievement and to eliminate achievement gaps. In
this session, participants will learn practical strategies to create a learning environment that focuses everyone on the right
results and be introduced to the 4 Dimensions of Instructional
Leadership as a tool to guide the work of leadership teams.

observation data, and methods for providing feedback.
3l.) Searching for Educational Ideas that Work:
Promoting Initiatives of Substance
Harvey Alvy, Professor Emeritus, Educational Leadership, Eastern
Washington University
Location: CC 201C
School leaders are responsible for promoting and implementing educational practices and reforms of substance, to
advance student growth and faculty professional development. Although we can never know in advance if a new reform or program should be supported and initiated, thoughtful strategies can be implemented to increase the likelihood
of success. During this interactive workshop participants will
learn about these strategies by reviewing “Red Flags” to help
leaders detect educational fads, and “Practical Guidelines” to
support coherent initiatives of substance. After reviewing the
strategies, workshop participants will have the opportunity
to discuss the dilemmas and pressures that school leaders
face to sustain the best “traditional” teaching and learning
strategies while promoting state of the art innovations.
3m.) Lessons Learned from a Teacher Strike:

Glenn Gelbrich, Superintendent; and Jenae Gomes,
Executive Director of Human Resources, Kelso SD
This session is designed to address planning for effective
entry as a newly hired superintendent with the formulation
of a 90-day transition plan and utilization of mentors. Success
in school district leadership requires intentional thinking

Alexandra Manuel, Director of Educator Pathways,

Growing Your Own Teacher programs are becoming increasingly important for developing future teachers for districts
due to the teacher shortage. In this discussion, we will
talk about the current vehicles available to grow your own
teachers, including alternate routes, retooling, and teacher
academies. Discussion will include the work of developing
staff, what resources are out there for recruitment, mentorship, and retention that will support successful programs to
grow future teachers and develop current teachers. Lastly we
will discuss districts engaging in innovation and the policy
implications for grow your own programs to be successful in
the state.
3p.) Leading with An Equity Lens: Research and
Strategies
Nancy Coogan, Ed.D., Superintendent, Tukwila SD; and Teena

Location: CC 206D
Location: CC Theater
For the past 9 months the eVAL design and development
team has been working to completely redesign eVAL from
the ground up. Starting in the summer of 2016 educators
in Washington will have the opportunity to use a faster and
more user friendly version of the already successful eVAL
tool. If you currently use eVAL you will want to come to this
session to get a preview of coming changes. If you looked at
eVAL before, but decided to try another tool, come and see
why 3,000 educators a day use eVAL…and why the new version is even better. If you never have heard of eVAL and want
to learn about a FREE, Washington-based, Washington-aligned
evaluation tool, then this session is for you.

Great news! We are making some changes to the
registration and housing process in 2017 that we
feel will greatly benefit you and your staff.
Rather than making your housing reservations
in November, months before you register for the
conference, you will register for the conference
before securing your housing. After submitting your
conference registration, you will receive an access
code to reserve your housing. Online registrants
will receive this information immediately, while
those submitting hard-copy registrations will
receive the access code as soon as the registration
is processed.
This change in our process provides the following
benefits to you and to our organization:
6:45 - 8:00 a.m. | Rural Ed/WASA Small Schools Committee Meeting
• Reduces, or eliminates, the need for a housing waitlist because it eliminates the need to
overbook rooms out of fear that rooms won’t be
available when registration opens.
9:45 - 11:45 a.m. | WCEAP Meeting
• Results in fewer changes to our hotel room block
because rooms will be booked as needed, eliminating the need for holding “TBD” rooms.
Tuesday, June 28
6:45 - 8:00 a.m. | WASA Region Presidents Meeting
• Provides greater assurance that guests making
reservation requests are truly part of our organization and are staying within the hotels identified as part of our room block.
• Reduces the number of last-minute cancellations. Hotel concessions, such as room rates, are
based on the number of rooms utilized and late
cancellations can place our organizations at risk
of financial penalties.
The staff at WASA, AWSP, and the Spokane Housing Authority will monitor housing closely and
are committed to improving this process for our
attendees.
Housing and registration open January 17, 2017.
