Evaluation Remediation Plans
By Steve Kaplan, UniServe Field Organizer

"Whenever the evaluator determines that any aspect of an evaluatee's
evaluation may be less than satisfactory..." (14.6.3.1)

• A conference shall be scheduled and you shall receive both verbally and in writing specific objectives and criteria (14.6.3.1)
  
• The remediation plan shall contain specific areas where improvement is necessary, resources to be made available, the evaluator's role in assisting, a timeline for monitoring performance (14.6.3.2)
  
• This year this shall occur by February 2 at year-round schools and by February 11 at traditional calendar schools (14.6.3.3)

A remediation plan must be based on the results of one or more formal
observations. A formal observation must be prescheduled and you must be notified who will observe and the method of observation. (14.6.2.1)

Whenever the evaluator is going to use such an observation as the basis for a remediation plan they are required to provide you with a "written statement concerning each observation being used as an assessment technique." This must occur within approximately ten workdays after the observation. (14.6.2.3)

For additional detail you can read Sections 14.6.2 and 14.6.3 in the Contract.

If you have received a remediation plan and are not already in touch with SDEA give us a call at 619-283-4411. Also, let us know if you receive a remediation plan after the Feb. 2 or Feb. 11 timeline.
