@report {584411, title = {SDP Human Capital Diagnostic for Denver Public Schools}, year = {2014}, month = {11/06}, institution = {Strategic Data Project}, abstract = {

Denver Public Schools (DPS) collaborated with the Strategic Data Project to conduct the SDP Human Capital Diagnostic. The analysis focused on teacher recruitment, placement, development, evaluation/compensation, and retention/turnover. Because of the uniqueness of the data from DPS{\textquoteright} ProComp teacher compensation system and its relevance to current policy discussions, we describe the evaluation/compensation analyses in depth and summarize the key findings from the other components of the diagnostic. These analyses have the potential to inform important education policy both in Denver and across the nation as education agencies consider revising traditional {\textquotedblleft}lockstep{\textquotedblright} pay systems.
