If
a dismissal case due to inadequacy of classroom performance reaches the court,
the court will consider both content and procedure. This system is designed to
eliminate procedural error and allow the evaluator to focus on content. The system
also reduces the direct pressure on the evaluator by involving other appropriate
personnel.
This system has been successfully used for over ten (10) years.
During that time, no dismissal case has ever reached the court. Interventions
have concluded with teachers either being returned to the classroom with improved
levels of performance or in resignation.
An excerpt from the process
used in the system is shown below. (NOTE: All procedures must be adapted to meet
the requirements of state statutes and district policy.) |
