TEACHER IMPROVEMENT PLANS. 10.1 If a teacher’s performance is evaluated as “ineffective” or “developing”, the administrator shall be required to develop a Teacher Improvement Plan (TIP) in consultation with the staff member. Such Plan will be shared with and implemented within ten (10) work days of the start of the school year within which the Plan will be applied. The Plan shall include an identification of the areas in need of improvement, a timeline for achieving improvement, suggestions for improvement, support to be provided, and measurable outcomes to be evaluated.
TEACHER IMPROVEMENT PLANS. Periodically, the performance of a teacher may not meet competency. In these instances, West Irondequoit is committed to providing support to teachers. The teacher improvement plan (TIP) is designed to provide opportunities for ongoing dialogue and feedback between teachers and administrators.
TEACHER IMPROVEMENT PLANS. 11 As per Education Law 3012c, any unit member rated developing or ineffective will be 12 placed on a Teacher Improvement Plan as per Exhibit E. Where the District deems it 13 warranted outside of the 3012c process, a Teacher Improvement Plan shall also be 14 developed. Unit members in need of improvement are to be identified in writing by the 15 Building Principal to the unit member, the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources 16 and the President of the Association.
TEACHER IMPROVEMENT PLANS. Teacher Improvement Process by which the District will ensure that Teachers receive timely and constructive feedback as part of the evaluation process performance and that an improvement plan will be put in place is as follows:
TEACHER IMPROVEMENT PLANS. A TIP must be initiated whenever a teacher receives a rating of developing or ineffective in a year-end evaluation. Both the teacher and administrator will meet for an evaluation conference at the end of the school year where the developing or ineffective evaluation is discussed. A TIP is designed by the building principal or designee in collaboration with the teacher and the President of the Schenectady Federation of Teachers or designee. The TIP must be in place no later than ten days after the date on which teachers are required to report prior to the opening of classes for the school year. An initial conference is held at the beginning of the school year where the TIP is discussed, signed, and dated at the beginning of its implementation. The teacher must be offered the opportunity for a peer mentor. The teacher will select the mentor, with the approval of the Superintendent and the Federation President. If the teacher cannot decide on a mentor, the Superintendent and the Federation President, or designees, will select a mentor. All dealings between the mentor and the teacher will be confidential. The mentor and the teacher will collaborate during the first quarter. During that time, the teacher will be observed by designated members of the administrative team who will concentrate on observing and evaluating goals identified in the TIP. A member of the administrative team will meet with the teacher in a timely manner (within 3 school days) to discuss the observations. Written observation summaries will be provided (within 7 school days) and must be signed by both parties. The teacher will have the right to respond to observation summaries and responses will be attached. After the first quarter of teacher/mentor collaboration, the administration will assess the effectiveness of the intervention and the level of improvement. Based on that assessment, the TIP may be adjusted appropriately and quarterly meetings among all parties will continue. At the end of the year, if the TIP goals are met, it will terminate. The culmination of the TIP will be communicated in writing to the teacher and signed by both parties. If the teacher is again rated as developing or ineffective, a new plan will be developed by the teacher and the building principal in collaboration with the Association for the next school year. Also, at the end of the school year in which a TIP was in place, the administration shall provide the teacher with a summative evaluation for the school ye...
