DPAS II - Revised Update Getting it done right No use of school-wide scores to evaluate individuals No Component 5 rating this year Summative Ratings based only on Components 1-4 The agreement we have reached with the Dept. of Education and the Governor's Office goes a long way towards meeting our goals of establishing an evaluation system that is fair, valid, reliable, and based in common sense. No use of school-wide student scores to evaluate any teacher or specialist This was our top priority for Component 5, since effective evalua- tions must reflect the work and con- tributions of individual educators. Teacher evaluation should be based on the difference teachers make for the students they teach in the sub- ject they teach. It is our expectation that when Component 5 is run next year, it will include a full range of "multiple measures" for all educa- tors and specialists. No Component 5 sum- mative rating for this year Only those educators of the two DCAS-tested subjects, reading and math, will receive a Component 5 score this year, but it will not be part of their DPAS Summative Rating. It will only determine if DCAS teachers might be eligible for We have made huge strides working together. Thank you! We will continue to work for the policies and conditions necessary for student success, effective teachers and great public schools.

Details on the incentive/retention program have not been finalized by DoE, and will be announced later this spring. For the 2011-12 school year, then, educator summative ratings will be determined using only Components 1-4. We were able to modify the Summative Ratings for this year Summative ratings for everyone will only be based on Components 1-4: • 3 or 4 satisfactory components = Effective • 2 satisfactory components = Needs Improvement • 0 or 1 satisfactory components = Ineffective If you have questions, please e- mail them to Debbie Stevens, DSEA's director of instructional advocacy, at and she will get back to you.
