MAPA…Why Change? • Former Administrators’ Performance Appraisal instrument implemented in 2004. • Need for stronger focus on changing role and demands of administrators as instructional leaders focused on student achievement (CSP, Goal 1). • Need to emphasize formative assessment. • Need to incorporate professionaldevelopment andreflection opportunities.
Survey…Give us some input! • January, 2009: DoDEA principals, assistant principals, and assistant superintendents were surveyed. • Of 353possible respondents, 239 replied. • That’s a68% response rate! Yippee!
Let’s Talk! • Turn to your nearest neighbor, the one with which you’ve been knocking elbows. • Ask this question. What do you now know about MAPA that you didn’t know 10 minutes ago? • Look interested and awed at his/her response. Stand when you have bothshared.You have 3 minutes.
At the gate, down the stretch, crossing the line… At the gate… • An appraisal instrument for principals and assistant principals • Aligned to the four goals of the 2006-2011 Community Strategic Plan • Compatible with the 2008 Educational Leadership Policy Standards: ISLLC 2008 Down the stretch… • Use feedback resulting from the administrator survey of January 2009 • Imbed a rubric • Use ratings of Exemplary, Proficient, Progressing, and Not Meeting Objective • Include a professional growth and reflection component • How about an Individual Leadership Plan (ILP)? • Use of an approved individual plan for improvement based on school data • Develop using SMART format Crossing the line… • MAPA
…with purpose in mind! • To improve practices in instructional leadership and recognize effective practices • To self-assess, set objectives, and increase proficiency in analyzing data • To provide a framework and purposeful direction for administrators • To address leadership skills that promote continuous and sustainable improvement
And I quote… MAPA moves us from knowing to doing and from management to educational leadership. Maria Buchwald 2009 DoDEA MS Principal of the Year
Rubrics ‘R Us! Review the rubrics and discuss each objective and how it relates to present job responsibilities. Discuss possible adjustments in job responsibilities to insure assistantprincipals are functioning as instructional leaders within the school. Highlight the differences in expectations among the ratings on the continuum. You have 15 minutes!
In the trenches… Each table group select a goal. Review the objectives for that goal. Review the ratings for the objectives and note the differences between each rating. Collaborate with your table group to review the list of evidencethat would demonstrate “Proficient” for the chosen objectives. You will have 15 minutes to complete this task. Choose a spokesperson for your table.
And I quote… Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. Anthony J. D'Angelo

Guidelines…continued Supervisor approval necessary Plan may be adjusted during or at the end of the rating period or continue into next year Reflective self-assessment completed for mid-year and end-of-year conferences Data, strategies, etc. for objective imbeddedin daily administrator responsibilities Maintain data and evidence
Activity Alert…ILP! • Review the objective. Is it aligned to the CSP and MAPA ? Is it an objective that will meet a need at a school? • What data is used to assess or measuresuccess? Does it seem plausible? • What resources, strategies, research support have been chosen to help attain the objective? • What is the proposed impact at the school on student achievement? • What is the proposed timeline?
And I quote… Growth is the only evidence of life. John Henry Newman, Apologia pro vita sua, 1864
Scoreboard! • Goals 1 and 3 carry greater values as they contain 8 objectives. • The summative rating is determined as shown. • Please note the norms.
