students, as defined in §150.1001(f)(2)
of this title. A teacher who receives a full appraisal less than annually
must receive a full appraisal at least once during each period of
five school years.
(1) District policy may stipulate:
(A) whether the option to receive a full appraisal
less frequently than annually is to be made available to teachers;
(B) whether the option to receive a full appraisal
less frequently than annually is to be adopted districtwide or is
to be campus specific;
(C) if the appraisal accompanying a teacher new to
a district or campus meets the option as specified in this subsection,
whether the appraisal is to be accepted or whether that teacher is
to be appraised by the new campus administrator; and
(D) whether a certified appraiser may place a teacher
on the traditional appraisal cycle as a result of performance deficiencies
documented in accordance with subsections (b)(6) and (f) of this section.
(2) A school district may choose annually to review
the written agreement to have less frequent full appraisals with the
teacher. However, at the conclusion of the school year, the district
may modify appraisal options through board policy and may make changes
to expectations for appraisals that apply to all teachers regardless
of a teacher's participation in the appraisal option in the previous
year(s).
(3) In a year in which a teacher does not receive a
full appraisal due to meeting the requirements identified in this
subsection, a teacher shall participate in:
(A) the Goal-Setting and Professional Development Plan
process, as identified in subsection (b)(1) of this section;
(B) the performance of teachers' students, as defined
in §150.1001(f)(2) of this title; and
(C) a modified end-of-year conference that addresses:
(i) the progress on the Goal-Setting and Professional
Development Plan;
(ii) the performance of teachers' students, as defined
in §150.1001(f)(2) of this title; and
(iii) the following year's Goal-Setting and Professional
Development plan.
