Spring 2011 Pilot
The next step in teacher and principal involvement....
From the start, this effort has been collaborative and informed by the teachers and principals who will ultimately be supported by the new system. From focus groups to Design Teams to the spring 2011 LEAP pilot...teacher and principal voice has been a key element of the development process.
Sixteen schools piloted components of LEAP in the spring of 2011. Feedback from educators at these schools was carefully considered and used to guide improvements to LEAP prior to the district-wide pilot in 2011-12.
DPS’s approach of teacher and principal involvement is somewhat unique: it ensures that our new evaluation tool will be informed by teachers and principals within the district from inception through rollout.
