Ensuring Teacher Success

At DCPS we know that teacher success means student success. That’s why we are creating a culture where all school-based personnel:

• Have a clear understanding of what defines excellence in their work;
• Are provided with constructive and data-based feedback about their performance, and
• Receive support to increase their effectiveness.

DCPS is providing high-quality tools for our teachers that will raise the floor across the district while still providing sufficient flexibility so that teachers can elegantly adapt the resources to meet the interests and needs of their students.

And, we are providing more professional development and supports for our teachers than ever before to make sure our students get everything they need to succeed. Learn more in the DCPS Academic Plan »
