Exiting Ineffective Teachers Policy
Indiana requires that teachers who receive an "ineffective" or "improvement necessary" evaluation rating be placed on a "remediation plan." The teacher has 90 school days to correct the deficiencies noted in the evaluation rating.
All teachers who receive "ineffective" ratings are considered to be probationary and are subject to dismissal upon receiving a second ineffective rating the following year.
Indiana recognized the factual accuracy of this analysis.
To review the process and types of personnel evaluations observed in other job sectors, including the problems inherent to some evaluation systems see, for example, Gliddon, David (October 2004).
