Department of Defense Performance Management and Appraisal Program (DPMAP)

The Department of Defense Performance Management and Appraisal Program (DPMAP) aligns with standard 1.4 as it serves as the professional evaluation system within DoDEA. The DPMAP process provides professionals within DoDEA with performance elements aligned with expectations regarding their role. Evaluators engage in beginning-of-the-year, middle-of-the-year, and end-of-the-year meetings with each educator. The DPMAP process outlines the frequency of evaluations for educators. Administrators receive ongoing professional learning which establishes clear and common expectations regarding the evaluation system. The implementation of the DPMAP process across DoDEA has led to a cohesive and consistent process for evaluating educators across the Pacific East District.
