  4. DPAS II Overview • Statewide evaluation system • Required for all public school educators (state law) • Three versions: • DPAS II for Teachers • DPAS II for Specialists • DPAS II for Administrators

  5. Objectives of DPAS II • Three objectives of DPAS II are to assure and support: • Professional growth: enhancing the skills and knowledge of educators. • Continuous improvement of instructional practice and student outcomes: educators commitment to continuously improving practice so that student performance is continuously enhanced. • Quality educators in every school building and classroom: the collection of credible evidence about educator performance.

  6. Who is evaluated through DPAS II for Teachers? • Any educator who • Holds a Delaware teaching license • Holds a Delaware certificate in a particular content area, AND • Is employed as either a part-time or full-time teacher in a Delaware public school. • Also, any specialist who teaches in a classroom setting part of the instructional day may be evaluated using the teacher process.

  7. Who evaluates teachers? • Supervisors of teachers who: • Have successfully completed the DPAS II training and have been certified by the Department of Education • May be a direct supervisor • May be another supervisor within the district (e.g., a district office administrator, an administrator from another building, a designated teacher leader)

  8. Design of DPAS II for Teachers • DPAS II for Teachers is aligned to • Delaware Professional Teaching Standards • Establish common set of knowledge, skills, and attributes expected of Delaware Teachers • Outlined in Delaware regulation • AND • Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching • Defines professional practice and outlines criteria and elements of practice

  9. Structure of DPAS II • The DPAS II framework has three tiers • Components – broad areas of teacher practice and responsibility • Criteria – essential knowledge and skills related to each component • Elements – observable areas of knowledge and skills related to each criterion

  10. DPAS II: Components

  11. Use of DPAS II Rubrics • Evaluators are expected to use rubrics: • To rate Appraisal Criteria observed • To focus pre-observation, post-observation, and summative conference discussions with teachers • To develop a common understanding of the teacher’s strengths and areas for improvement • As a guide to organize relevant evidence of teacher performance • Teachers are expected to use rubrics: • For reflection and self-assessment • To develop a common understanding of his or her own strengths and areas for improvement

  12. DOE monitoring/auditing of DPAS II documentation quality • Annual audit of DPAS II formative and summative evaluation documents • Use of review criteria to ensure written evaluation documents provide: • Objective, specific, and relevant evidence of teacher performance and areas of commendation • Supportive, specific, and actionable guidance, including timelines, for any recommendations and/or expectations to improve performance • Conducted by DOE staff • All information is confidential

  13. What’s new in 2013-2014? • Changes to DPAS II, beginning in the 2013-2014 school year: • Provide more flexibility in the announced vs. unannounced observation(s) • Additional credentialing of educators/instructional leaders not serving as “Evaluators.” • Opportunity for LEAs to utilize one less criterion in each Component • Provide flexibility in when/how Improvement Plans are utilized • Require ratings at the criteria-level for observations and Summative Evaluations
