The LIFT Framework was conceived and created by Mark Ray, 2012 Washington State Teacher of the Year, in partnership with the Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession and with support from the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).
Editorial review and thought partnership was provided by Washington State educators Brigham Williams and Karen Wilson. Thanks for helping make LIFT better for everyone.
Special thanks to Nasue Nishida and Lindsey Stevens for believing in LIFT and helping it become a resource for educators in Washington State and beyond.
