Summary TARGET (IPDP) Plan and ARROW Documentation Conversations
Upon completion of the Overall Annual Performance Evaluation conference, two copies
of the form will be printed, signed, and dated by the administrator and teacher
Special Processes as Applicable to a Teacher's Needs
As may be applicable to need, a process may be used to promote prompt professional conversations
regarding instructional assistance with teachers. If performance concerns exist the following steps shall
be taken:
1. The evaluator shall hold a professional conversation with the teacher to identify specific areas
of concern coupled with suggested actions to be taken to assist the teacher with improvement
of professional practice. Monitoring will be ongoing. An Instructional Assistance Conference
(IAC) Form MAY be used at this time. This process and related form does not replace the formal
written plan of improvement (PDP) and is not disciplinary in nature. It is intended to facilitate
professional conversations between the teacher and administrator.
2. If the problem persists, the evaluator will conduct a focused observation in the area of concern
using the Global Observation Instrument (GOI). Monitoring will be on‐going.
3. If after the focused observation a teacher is still found to be performing below the effective
level in an EPC, the evaluator shall meet with the teacher to discuss the concerns and develop a
plan.
If applicable, a formal Professional Development Plan (PDP) to address ratings of Unsatisfactory
(required) or Needs Improvement (Optional) is developed and implemented at this time.
