Our Accomplishments

We are proud of our on-going effort supporting and empowering teachers in their delivery of quality educational services. Likewise, we take responsibility for our need to improve our efforts where we continue to face challenges. Most importantly, we are excited about future opportunities to support and empower the delivery of quality education through effective management of recruitment, selection, compensation, benefits, employee relations and related human resource services. Our recent accomplishments include:

• Leading DPS as the first Colorado school district to establish $30,000 as the minimum salary for a new teacher!
  
• Streamlined administrative processing through the creation of internet based templates.
  
• Established the state's first Teacher in Residence Program in cooperation with Metropolitan State College, preparing over 150 teachers each year for high-need positions within the District.
  
• Provide an approved Induction Program for novice teachers, with mentors and monthly support through New Teacher Network seminars.
  
• Support aspiring principals with the Denver Leadership Academy, a licensing program in cooperation with the University of Denver.
  
• Provide instructional support for teachers through the Peer Assistance Program and Instructional Support Teams.
