  8. DPAS II Process • The Department of Education, working in concert with the pilot districts, DSEA, and DASA, listened carefully to the feedback. • Committed to continuously improve DPAS II, changes were made after Year 1 of the pilot. Additional changes were made following Year 2 of the pilot. • Beginning in the Fall of 2008, DPAS II will be implemented in ALL districts and charter schools in the state of Delaware. • DOE will continue to monitor and evaluate DPAS II, and will continue to revise DPAS II in response to feedback.

  9. DPAS II Process • DPAS II for teachers, specialists, and administrators has been designed to reflect the practice of each group of educators. • Each system is based on a framework of practice and aligns with DE standards. • Although the components differ slightly, there is considerable alignment between and among the three systems.
