Leadership in DPS
In most DPS schools, leadership is distributed among an Instructional Leadership Team, which is made up of the school principal, assistant principal(s), leaders of others (e.g., Deans) and/or teacher leaders (Senior Team Leads and Team Leads) The LEAD Growth & Performance System applies to all school leaders:
- Principals
- Assistant Principals
- Leaders of Others (e.g., Deans)
- Senior Team Leads & Team Leads
Senior Team Leads & Team Leads
- Evaluated under LEAP for the teaching portion of
their role and will receive separate, informal, LEAD Growth and Performance System feedback in the 2017-18 school year.
- LEAD ratings do not inform LEAP scores,
probationary status, and/or performance incentives
- LEAD and LEAP ratings are kept separate to honor
the knowledge and skills required to be an effective teacher distinct from the skills to be effective in the leadership role
