DoDEA Implements MAPA for Principals and Assistant Principals: The new Multidimensional Administrator Performance Appraisal (MAPA) evaluation system for principals and assistant principals is being implemented throughout DoDEA. DoDDS school districts implement the new system effective October 1, 2009. DDESS school districts implement the new system effective November 1, 2009. The first rating cycle will run from the implementation date through June 30, 2010. The implementation of MAPA culminates over a year of development effort by a task group of current DoDEA managers. The MAPA is designed to improve practices in instructional leadership that enhance student achievement and also to recognize effective practices currently in place. The MAPA form and instructions can be accessed, downloaded, and printed for use by superintendents, principals, assistant principals and other managers.
