Educator Plan Implementation
Responsibility for plan implementation is divided between educators and evaluators. For the duration of their cycle, educators will pursue the attainment of the goals identified in the Educator Plan, and collect and submit evidence of their practice related to the Performance Standards (educators are only required to upload evidence of Standards III and IV).
Evaluators will provide with feedback for improvement, ensure timely access to planned supports, and collect evidence of educator performance and progress toward goals through multiple sources, including unannounced and announced observations.
Implementation of the Educator Plan begins as soon as goals are finalized, and continues until the end of the cycle.
Types of Educator Plans
An Educator Plan is the growth or improvement actions identified as part of each educator’s evaluation. The type of plan is determined by the Educator’s career stage, overall performance rating, and impact on student learning, growth, and achievement.
1. Self-Directed Growth Plan- A plan developed by the educator for one or two school years for educators with PTS who are rated proficient.
2. Developing Educator Plan- A plan developed by the educator and evaluator for one school year or less for an educator without PTS; or at the discretion of an evaluator for an educator in a new assignment.
3. Directed Growth Plan- A plan developed by the educator and evaluator of one school year or less for educator with PTS who are rated needs improvement.
4. Improvement Plan- A plan developed by the evaluator of at least 45 school days, and no more than one school year for educators with PTS who are rated unsatisfactory with goals specific to improving the unsatisfactory performance.
