Summary:
|
The Perris Union High School District requests to continue the subscription with PowerSchool (formerly PeopleAdmin Incorporated) to provide services that will continue to improve the district's certificated hiring and screening processes through Candidate Assessment (formerly Educators Professional Inventory or EPI).
Candidate Assessment is a research-based predictive analytics tool that uses thousands of data points, collected over time, to help school and district leaders identify, hire and develop the best teachers and certificated administrators. Candidate Assessment uses candidates’ assessment responses to measure each candidate's strengths and opportunities for growth in key areas highly correlated to improved student engagement and performance. The assessment results will be used to select high quality, caring staff who will be dedicated to learning, and connect students to their education and potential goals. Moreover, the results of the assessment will also be used to help develop individualized support, with the intent of retaining teachers and minimizing teacher turnover.
By using Candidate Assessment the district is saving time by ensuring district administrators are interviewing the most highly qualified candidates. Candidate Assessment helps remove the guesswork out of the teacher candidates screening by measuring applicants’ cognitive abilities, attitudinal factors, and pedagogical skills. Another key benefit of Candidate Assessment is that it would assist the district screen certificated administrator candidates by measuring applicant's leadership dispositions, ability to handle school administrator responsibilities, and leadership skills.
The term of the Agreement shall be from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 at a cost of $25,558.
