When a teacher receives an evaluation that suggests significant improvements need to be made that may lead to teacher dismissal or non-reemployment of a teacher, or when an administrator identifies poor performance or conduct the administrator believes may lead to a recommendation for termination, the administrator should admonish the teacher in writing and make reasonable effort to assist the teacher in correcting the performance or conduct.
Teacher improvement plans, also referred to as educator improvement plans, are co-written documents between a teacher who has displayed deficiencies in his or her job and the school's administrator. There is no standard format for teacher improvement plans; they can vary by district or even by principal. The fundamental objective of these plans is to provide support to the struggling teacher by identifying his or her weaknesses and then develop a strategy for growth. Use these steps to compose an educator improvement plan.
