For PTS Educators Sample Clauses

For PTS Educators. The parties acknowledge that it may take some time for an educator with PTS to become proficient in a new assignment. A new assignment shall mean a change in subject area, licensure, building, or grade level. However, at the elementary level, a grade level change shall mean a change of three (3) or more grades. The primary evaluator may assign a developing plan to a PTS educator in a new assignment at the educator’s request or at the primary evaluator’s discretion. Each developing plan for PTS educators in new assignments will be for one (1) school year. If the educator receives an overall rating of proficient or higher upon the summative evaluation at the end of the year, the educator may begin a Self-Directed Growth Plan for the next school year. If the overall summative rating is below proficient, the primary evaluator and the educator may discuss the possibility of a more appropriate assignment, and a different assignment that matches the educator’s certification may be offered. If a different assignment is made, the primary evaluator may extend the developing plan for a subsequent plan period of up to one (1) school year. If a different assignment is not made, the educator shall be placed on a Directed Growth Plan.
