    Default job background
    Description
    Position Overview

    The mission of the Office of School Improvement and Supports (OSIS) is to ensure we support our schools and our students to succeed and to meet the Goals of our Strategic Plan. The Office works to dramatically accelerate the number of excellent schools through school transformation, including design, partnerships, Connected Schools, and Comprehensive School Planning (CSP). The Office develops, aligns, and delivers high-quality supports to ensure students, particularly students furthest away from opportunity, are in school, able to engage in rigorous learning, and have a joyous educational environment. The Office ensures our schools have excellent leaders, educators, and staff who are prepared to meet the diverse needs of the young people we serve.

    Divisions/Teams

    School Improvement

  • School Performance: Promotes data-driven decision-making through a cycle of continuous improvement to develop, implement, and monitor the comprehensive school plan designed to move schools toward a consistent standard of excellence.
  • Design: Designs innovative school models that transform learning for our students furthest from opportunity and supports District workstreams to be more grounded in community voice by anchoring in data, community engagement and understanding, and elevating and integrating student voice.
  • Connected Schools: Supports schools in implementing the DCPS Connected Schools Model. Connected Schools take a whole child, whole school, whole community approach by making schools spaces that support not only a student's academic development, but also the student and family's overall wellbeing through access to resources related to health, employment, housing, and more.
  • Equity Strategy and Programing: Supports DCPS' equity priority by ensuring systemically underserved students are provided with opportunities, skills, and engagements that support their success, and that DCPS staff and stakeholders are centering equity as a central lens and practice.

    • Student Supports

  • School Mental Health: Ensures that students' behavioral and social-emotional needs are met to increase access to the curriculum.
  • Student Placement: Ensures that schools have the necessary supports to address the needs of the whole child and create the conditions where all students are ready to learn.
  • Student Health Services: Ensures that all students are healthy and are supported with the appropriate services and accommodations to support their wellness and continued learning.

    • Learning and Development Sciences

  • The Learning and Development Sciences Division(LDS) is charged with supporting the district's transformation to becoming a whole child-centered, anti-racist school system—DCPS Becoming. Grounded in science and powered by lived experiences, the district's approach is a long-term vision that counts on each district and school staff member knowing the science of learning and development and applying this research to their own work. Charged with building the capacity of district and school staff, as well as integrating a whole-child and anti-racist lens into the district's key priorities, the LDS Division will leverage the experiences of school leaders and staff to translate the research into systems, tools, and practices.
  • SEL and School Culture: Ensures that schools have the resources to provide a safe and supportive learning environment where all students are able to thrive academically and socially

    • IMPACT : IMPACT is DCPS' Evaluation and Feedback System for School-Based Personnel.

  • IMPACT Operations : Supports the daily implementation of both Staff and School Leader IMPACT. The team ensures IMPACT policy is followed with fidelity, manages a helpline where staff can reach out with questions, handles IMPACT appeals, and fulfills all IMPACT data analysis requests.
  • IMPACT Align : Ensures all evaluators have the tools they need to accurately and consistently apply the DCPS classroom observation rubric (the Essential Practices) when evaluating teacher practice. Provides tools for teachers to support excellent performance with respect to the Essential Practices.
  • IMPACT Design : Gathers and responds to feedback from DCPS leadership and staff and uses this feedback to consider possible IMPACT design changes for the future. The team also liaises with other states, districts, education groups, and researchers to learn from the best practices and lessons learned in the field of staff and school leader evaluation.

    • At DCPS, teachers are charged with ensuring the academic achievement of all our students regardless of background or circumstance. We are committed to our mission of providing all students with a world‐class education that prepares them for college, career, and life – and we know that building the most effective teaching force in the nation is critical to achieving this goal.
