Teachers and LEAP in 2014-2015 Back to School August 2014
2014-15 LEAP Goals for Teachers • Ensure teachers understand their growth and performance system • Support teacher growthand performance • Provide additional tools and resources for professional learning to support the continued growth of all teachers in 2014-15 • Recognize and reward our great teachers
Our Goals Today: • Review LEAP system for 2014-15 • Prepare presentations in small groups using the LEAP handbook • Present small group presentations to our whole staff
LEAP Overall Rating in 2014-15 • We will have four overall performance categories (not meeting, approaching, effective and distinguished) • Each LEAP component will have a point value and those points will come together on the below rating continuum (based on Professional Practice measures only) • Leaders will make a decision between categories when the point values fall close to two different categories (as per the shaded boxes below)
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!
Jigsaw: LEAP Handbook • Pass out the handout titled “LEAP Handbook Jigsaw Activity” • Review the directions on the handout LEAP Handbook Jigsaw Activity • Complete the activity (allowing 1-2 minutes for the next and final slide in this training)
