The SAPP Tool

The Self-Assessment Practice Profile (SAPP) is a tool designed to help educators self-check implementation levels of newly learned skills and knowledge. Educators use the SAPP tool to produce results indicating their implementation levels. Building and district leaders use those results to build reports, providing a picture of implementation levels. Reports should be used for collective planning among all levels of educators. MMD educators are encouraged to use the SAPP at least twice per year. However, it can be used more frequently as a coaching or reflective tool as needed.

For each MMD practice, there is a Dashboard, Self-Assessment Questionnaire and Practice Profile. These are aligned to the professional development materials provided on www.moedu-sail.org.
