Plans for Improvement are serious documents that constitute a declaration that unless sufficient improvement in performance is observed within the plan period, loss of employment may result. Employees may request AEIOU representation. A Plan shall be effective not less than sixty (60) calendar days and for not more than six (6) months. A Plan shall contain, at a minimum, the following:
1. Each specific area that the employee needs to improve;
2. The supervisor’s expectations for the employee to achieve success;

4. The supervisor’s timelines for subsequent consultation to provide feedback to the employee on progress; and

Plan for Improvement. If adequate progress has not been made after a reasonable time following being informed of the nature of the deficiencies, the supervisor may place the administrator on a written Plan for Improvement (Plan) regardless of whether the evaluation has been completed. The Plan shall be based on evidence of performance deficiency (ies) in one or more ISLLC standards as outlined in the administrator’s current evaluation instrument. The Plan shall be in writing and designed to instruct and guide the administrator so that the deficiency (ies) can be rectified. The Plan for Improvement will provide clear direction for the administrator and also provide evidence of support in order to assist the administrator. The supervisor shall meet with the administrator regularly, preferably once a month, at the administrator’s site, to review progress on the Plan. If adequate progress has been made on the Plan, the administrator will be removed from the Plan. If, after a minimum of forty-five (45) instructional days, the administrator has not made adequate progress on the Plan, the supervisor has the option of extending the Plan, or recommending non- renewal of the employment contract. Non-renewal or dismissal of an administrator shall be in accordance with state and federal statute. Additionally, non-renewal or dismissal of an administrator for performance deficiencies pursuant to the performance evaluation procedure set forth in this regulation will also include the opportunity for the Administrator to receive the performance improvement conversations set forth above and a formal Plan for Improvement before an administrator's contract can be non-renewed pursuant to A.R.S. § 15-503 for performance deficiencies except in the following cases:

Concerns may be addressed with a written plan for improvement that indicates reasonable correction measures, expectations, duration of the plan, reasonable measures of attainment and administrative assistance that will be provided. Unsatisfactory expectations not noted in the employee’s subsequent evaluations shall mean the expectations have been met.
Plan for Improvement. Employees that receive a Verbal, Written or Final Written Warning will discuss a plan for improvement with their immediate supervisor. The employee and the immediate supervisor will meet at least one (1) additional time to discuss progress. The employee may have Union representation at follow-up meetings.
Plan for Improvement. On receipt of a Suspension Notice, the Contractor is required to submit to the Contracting Body a plan for improvement, which sets out the steps that the Contractor is committed to implement in any current or future Order, to ensure that improved and satisfactory performance will be delivered in respect of all current and future Orders. Failure by the Contractor to provide such plan for improved performance within ten business days (or such other period agreed with the Contracting Body) from issue of a Suspension Notice, may result in the suspension becoming permanent with immediate effect. The Contracting Body shall notify the Contractor in writing or by email that the suspension has become permanent. In the event of the suspension becoming permanent, the Contracting Body shall also notify the Framework Administrator, other i-Flair members and Contracting Bodies of the permanent suspension. The notification to the other i-Flair members or Contracting Bodies of the Contractor’s permanent suspension shall not give right to the other i-Flair members or Contracting Bodies to suspend the Contractor as the notification is simply intended to assist in managing any current or subsequent Call-Off Contracts of a similar nature that are placed with the Contractor. On receipt from the Contractor of any such plan for improvement the Contracting Body will give reasonable consideration to the Contractor’s planned improvements. The Contracting Body, having received a plan for improved performance from the suspended Contractor shall provide a formal response to the Contractor within ten business days of receipt of the Contractor’s plan for improvement. Failure, on the part of the Contracting Body to respond within this period, will result in the lifting of the Contractor’s suspension by default. Where the Contractor’s plan for improvement is accepted the Contracting Body shall provide notice, in writing or by email to the Contractor within ten business days of receiving the Contractors plan for improvement, confirming the acceptance of the plan for improvement and the removal of the suspension. Where the Contractor’s plan for improvement is considered by the Contracting Body to fall short of what is required to deliver an acceptable level of performance, then a further secondary Suspension Notice shall be issued to the Contractor in writing or by email, within ten business days of receiving the plan for improved performance, confirming that the plan is not accepted and th...

Plan for Improvement. 1. If the immediate supervisor determines certain practices carried out by the teacher in the classroom do not meet the criteria and one (1) or more criteria is marked NS, the immediate supervisor shall provide a written explanation of the specific criteria in need of improvement. The immediate supervisor shall develop a plan for improvement to be implemented by the teacher. The teacher shall have the opportunity to provide input into the plan. The purpose of a plan for improvement is to assist a teacher in correcting poor performance or conduct identified by the immediate supervisor and marked as not satisfactory and should be designed to provide a structure for improvement. In developing a plan for improvement, the immediate supervisor shall establish a reasonable time for improvement, not to exceed two months, taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the teacher’s performance or conduct. The immediate supervisor shall make a reasonable effort to assist the teacher in correcting the poor performance or conduct. The immediate supervisor shall provide ongoing feedback to the teacher. The teacher is responsible for correcting the less than satisfactory performance. (6/14/10)
