Educator Plans. Changing Plans in Mid-Cycle All Educator Plans (other than Self-Directed Growth Plans) are written for one school year in length. If an Educator with PTS is not making progress at the time of formative assessment, the Evaluator could trigger the end of the plan and the creation of a new plan (i.e., an Educator on a Directed Growth Plan could be moved to an Improvement Plan). Educator Plans: Moving Plan Levels Educators with PTS can only be moved one plan level (i.e., an Educator on a Self-Directed Growth Plan could move to an Improvement Plan) at a time, either at the middle of a plan or at the end of a plan, or both. In addition, an Educator would need to have been observed at least three (3) times (announced or unannounced) after the previous formative assessment or summative evaluation. Evaluation Advisory Panel There shall be a standing Evaluation Advisory Panel to be comprised of two (2) representatives of the Union and two (2) representatives of the Administration. Either party may call in an additional representative of the Union or the Administration where a particular expertise would be helpful.

Upon completion of the review, the Evaluation Advisory Panel may make a recommendation to the Superintendent.
