DPAS II Process
• After two years as a pilot in two school districts, DPAS II is being implemented in six school districts and three charter schools—2007-2008.
• The pilot experiences were evaluated by Progress Education Corporation.
8
DPAS II Process
• The Department of Education, working in concert with the pilot districts, DSEA, and DASA, listened carefully to the feedback.
• Committed to continuously improve DPAS II, changes were made after Year 1 of the pilot. Additional changes were made following Year 2 of the pilot.
• Beginning in the Fall of 2008, DPAS II will be implemented in ALL districts and charter schools in the state of Delaware.
• DOE will continue to monitor and evaluate DPAS II, and will continue to revise DPAS II in response to feedback.
9
DPAS II Process
• DPAS II for teachers, specialists, and administrators has been designed to reflect the practice of each group of educators.
• Each system is based on a framework of practice and aligns with DE standards.
• Although the components differ slightly, there is considerable alignment between and among the three systems.
