Such meetings are an important part of the evaluation process. 7. The target dates listed in these tables are dates by when the procedures are expected to be accomplished, although exceptions may be made. If procedures are not accomplished within two weeks after the target dates listed, some final judgments about the staff member’s performance that year may be impossible or inappropriate. 8. During the informal evaluation year, staff members will be expected to review and revise their professional development plans, and may use a variety of methods for assessing progress on their professional development plans, including self-evaluation. Informal meetings with supervisors are encouraged.

Evaluation Plan 3: Does Not Meet Standards: Support/ Improvement Plan Implemented 1. Placement on Plan 3 is the result of a staff member’s failing to meet one or Less Staff Supervisor more of the PAUSD Teaching Performance Standards, as identified by the building principal and supervisor working in consultation with the Superintendent’s staff. While placement on Evaluation Plan 2.2 — Chronology3 may occur during the spring reviews, a staff member shall be placed on this plan whenever it is deemed necessary by the building principal/administrator. 2. Prior to a teacher’s being formally assigned to Plan 3, the following procedures will be followed: a. If the supervisor determines that a teacher’s performance does not meet all PAUSD Teaching Standards, s/he and the teacher will develop a plan to address concerns over an informal support period of 4 to 8 weeks. The principal/administrator and supervisor shall notify a PAEA representative chosen by the teacher and a Human Resources administrator of the discussion. b. At the end of the agreed-upon informal support period, if the teacher’s performance does not meet standards, the principal/administrator and supervisor shall notify the teacher in writing that s/he is being placed on Evaluation Plan 3. c. If a teacher has previously been given the opportunity to address performance concerns through this type of informal support period, it is the prerogative of the principal/administrator to assign the teacher directly to Plan 3 should the same or other concerns surface at a later date. 3. While the principal or supervisor may request any assistance or resources that she/he deems appropriate, the responsibility for monitoring and supervising staff placed on Evaluation Plan 3 is the responsibility of the principal/administrator and supervisor as identified at the beginning of the school year.
