Master Educators

What is the Master Educator Program?

The Master Educator Program is one component of the IMPACT assessment system and was developed in response to feedback from DCPS teachers. 

In over 50 focus groups held during the 2008-2009 school year, DCPS teachers consistently expressed their desire to be evaluated by an objective content expert in addition to being evaluated by their administrators. 

The program was launched in the fall of 2009 and now includes 45 masters educators across 13 content areas

What is a master educator?

Master educators are expert practitioners who serve as impartial evaluators, conducting observations without any knowledge of the IMPACT scores that teachers receive from their administrators.

How do master educators support teachers?

Following each observation, teachers will meet one-on-one with their master educator to discuss strengths and areas for improvement.
