OPM Offers On-line e-Training

Employees can develop their own customized training with OPM’s new “GoLearn,” a web-based learning management system.  GoLearn offers extensive courseware libraries.  When you purchase a library from OPM, you purchase several complete curricula each offering a block of classes.  For instance, the Skill Soft Business Skills Library contains 15 curricula and 90 on-line classes in such areas as business mathematics, government charge cards, and multiple courses on planning, developing, and maintaining Microsoft Windows.  The best part is that this training can be taken at your own pace and is reasonably priced.  A library of multiple curricula is available for purchase for only $36.75 per person, per year.

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.
