Education in Washington
Education Landscape
Washington state serves over 1.1 million students across 295 school districts. The state uses the Teacher/Principal Evaluation Program (TPEP), which allows districts to choose from three state-approved frameworks for teacher evaluation: Danielson, Marzano, and CEL 5D+. This local flexibility means principals need tools that adapt to their specific rubric.
Observation Requirements
Under TPEP, Washington requires a comprehensive evaluation for all teachers at least once every six years, with focused evaluations in intervening years. Districts choose from approved instructional frameworks and must evaluate teachers against eight criteria established in state law (RCW 28A.405.100).

What Washington Educators Say
Trusted by Washington School Leaders
Observation Copilot has been a true game changer for me. It took that piece of the wordsmithing, of having the language flow, where I could really go down and just put in the facts of what I'm seeing.

Observation Copilot has changed the way I give teachers feedback, because it's more specific. I'm able to plug and play a lot of the pieces that in the past sometimes would take quite a bit of labor and quite a bit of time.
