GPS Tip of the Week (Prior Week's Tips)

What should I write in the Evidence/Rationale box in an Observation form? Any scored indicator requires that comments are included in the Evidence/Rationale box in the Observation form. Comments include all evidence to support the selected teacher, student behaviors and score. If you script/hashtag in the tool, your evidence is aligned (Aligned Evidence), then there is no need to copy/paste scripting into the box. Either way, the box may include Appendix behaviors, if applicable, a rationale statement or a reflective question. A form should be clearly labeled and include all components of an effective COF.

The new Denver Public Schools Growth & Performance System (GPS) is now open. The tool will open on a rolling basis for additional school leaders, teachers, and specialized service providers. In order to achieve our goal for a successful launch we are using a slow-release approach. Principals must create caseloads before other users can utilize the tool. 

Below please find a few resources that are available to help further familiarize you with the functions of the tool. We will be adding more resources here as they become available.

If you found this page and are having trouble logging into GPS, please use the DPS GPS Help Request Form to get assistance with that matter.
