DP

Welcome to the DP page for the 2011-2012 consultancy update and information sessions. You should have received a letter confirming your assignment as consultant for your new school(s). Please begin by reading the presentation that you will find below: //DP consultants presentation - Aug 2011.pdf.// This presentation is to help explain the process which includes some familiar points, but also includes a few new steps for the 2011-2012 consultancy assignments.

The next step is to read the //User instructions part II and consultant report.// This document will guide you through the steps that you will need to follow in order to use the spreadsheet designed to produce your feedback. Please note that you will be following both, the instrucions //For the reader// and the ones //For the consultant,// since for this only time you will start the process as if you were the reader and then continue with the consultant specific review.

Also included is a document called, //"Must be in place or progress for authorization"// which is a summary of the standards and practices that must be in place or in progress at the time of the authorization, taken from the new //Guide to school authorization: Diploma Programme.//

The DP team will be monitoring the questions posted by consultants so that we can answer your questions for you personally and also help other consultants who might have the same questions. The DP management team is looking forward l//a//unching this exciting method of communicating with our newly assigned consultants.
 * Please remember that you must complete the feedback form **before** contacting the school and that your consultancy begins **1 September 2011**, and you should **not** contact the school before that date. ||
