Development Coach Project
Development Coach Project
The Development Coach service provides one-on-one support to schools in Delaware, helping school leaders as they navigate the intricacies of the Delaware Performance Appraisal System (DPAS II). Overall, the job of the development coach is to increase the understanding of DPAS II to improve professional practice and student achievement.
The Development Coach will spend three or more hours a week in each assigned school providing feedback and support to the school leader around performance evaluation.
Development Coaches provide interpersonal, problem solving, and organizational skills required to effectively facilitate coaching.
They offer documented knowledge of DPAS II, Charlotte Danielson’s Frameworks and Rubrics, and effective implementation of performance in a school setting
The Development Coach Project is a funded partnership with Delaware’s Race to the Top Campaign, districts and charter schools, Delaware Department of Education, and the Delaware Academy for School Leadership at the University of Delaware.
