DPAS & Walkthrough Teacher Access

Revised: 8/1/2012

The purpose of the DPAS application is to provide an electronic means of conducting the DPAS II evaluation process. Each teacher has a Forms page which currently includes the Pre-Observation and Professional Responsibilities Forms that are required for teachers to complete as part of the evaluation process. In addition, the application also includes the forms that evaluators complete as part of the process including the Formative Feedback Form and the Summative Evaluation Form. The application also generates an email that will inform you as to when meetings have been scheduled and provide you with a link to appropriate forms, etc. Please see the end of this QuickTips for samples of the emails you will receive.
