Tier III Intensive Assistance Sample Clauses

Tier III Intensive Assistance. Career teacher assistance is designed to provide clear intervention and remediation for experienced teachers whose job performance does not meet one or more of the Iowa Teaching Standards. All parties will endeavor to resolve problems at the least formal level first. If the evaluator deems those informal efforts are insufficient, a formal meeting between the evaluator and the teacher will be scheduled. The teacher will be notified in writing of the standard(s) that need to be improved; during this Awareness phase, lasting a minimum of one ‘school year’ month and no more than three ‘school year’ months, the teacher will have an opportunity to correct the identified deficiencies. The teacher may request to be accompanied by an Association representative at any point in the process. At the end of the Awareness phase, if the concerns have not been successfully corrected, the evaluator will schedule a formal meeting with the teacher. The evaluator will supply the teacher with the specific standard(s) that are unsatisfactory. The evaluator will provide the teacher with a Plan of Assistance, lasting a minimum of ninety (90) ‘school year’ days, after the teacher has had an opportunity to provide input. The Intensive Assistance phase will continue until the identified problems are corrective with a twelve (12) month maximum for the combined Awareness and Assistance Phases. If the Plan of Assistance was successful, the teacher will be notified in writing that the Plan was deemed successful; if the Plan was unsuccessful, the teacher will be notified in writing and the evaluator will recommend non-renewal of the teacher’s contract.

Tier III Intensive Assistance. If a supervisor or an evaluator determines, at any time, as a result of a teacher’s performance that the teacher is not meeting district expectations either under Board policy 404.1, 404.1R1. 404.1R2, or 404.1R3, or under the Iowa Teaching Standards specified in section 284.3, subsection 1, paragraphs “a” through “g”, the criteria for the Iowa Teaching Standards developed by the department in accordance with section 256.9, subsection 50, and any other standards or criteria established in the collective bargaining agreement, the evaluator shall, at the direction of the teacher’s supervisor, recommend to the district that the teacher participate in an intensive assistance program. Tier III teachers may not be transferred to another school during that phase. Teachers placed on Tier III will not be required to also meet Tier II expectations. In order to maximize attention toward improvement in meeting District expectations, teachers on Tier III will be required to fulfill any Schedule D obligations outside of their formal school working hours. The District shall take action to move towards a recommendation for non-renewal of contract for teachers who have gone through an Intensive Assistance Plan and have failed to meet the Iowa Teaching Standards and Criteria. Nothing precludes the District from initiating termination procedures at any time under Chapter 279 of Iowa Code for just cause or for conduct that falls under Standard 8 regarding professional and ethical conduct.
