The Denver Plan
The 2010 Denver Plan lays out the DPS vision and the course we are embarking on to achieve our goals. It states the district's committed to having a highly effective teacher in every classroom and building strategies to support this commitment.
The Empowering Excellent Educators work, including LEAP, focuses on two strategies within the Denver Plan:
- GREAT PEOPLE TO DRIVE BETTER OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS: Development of a multiple-measure teacher evaluation and feedback system that meaningfully differentiates the performance of teachers.
- FOCUS ON THE INSTRUCTIONAL CORE: Create conditions to ensure educator effectiveness. This will require us to develop a shared definition of effective teaching (DPS Framework for Effective Teaching); do more to support teachers in becoming effective teachers; and continue to develop principals to be effective leaders.
