What’s New: 2014-15 • Student Growth measures - not part of calculated overall rating (only for 2014-15), important to discuss during mid-year conversations • New process for assigning peer observers • Novice teachers/teachers new to DPS • Teachers who did not have sufficient observation data in 2013-14 to receive a Professional Practice rating • Option to administer SPS online Additional details coming soon!
