How many evaluations must a post-probationary teacher receive if rated "minimally effective or ineffective"?

A post-probationary teacher rated as "minimally effective or ineffective" must receive three evaluations. This requirement is designed to provide adequate support and opportunities for improvement, ensuring that teachers have the chance to address any deficiencies identified in their performance. The evaluation process typically includes feedback and guidance aimed at helping the teacher enhance their skills and effectiveness in the classroom. The emphasis on multiple evaluations reflects an understanding that improvement can take time and that ongoing assessment is vital to fostering professional development. In contrast, fewer evaluations would not adequately support a post-probationary teacher who may need more substantial improvement and guidance.
