Reform and accountability are the focus of national and state
efforts to improve education. Osborn is at the forefront through
a grant-funded partnership with Arizona State University.
Osborn is the first school district in Arizona to implement the
Teacher-Student Advancement Program (TAP) district-wide.
TAP has a track record of improving quality of instruction and
level of student achievement. Teachers are held accountable for
meeting TAP teaching, knowledge and responsibility standards
as well as academic growth of their students. Each teacher is
evaluated multiple times yearly by trained and certified
evaluators, including master and mentor teachers, the principal
and district office administrators. In addition, teachers
participate in rigorous professional development. Teachers will
receive Performance Pay based on their roles and
responsibilities, performance in the classroom, and student
achievement. This is a rigorous undertaking, but one that will
help Osborn School District reach our goal of increasing
student achievement.
