Unsatisfactory Evaluations: Indiana
Exiting Ineffective Teachers Policy
Analysis of Indiana's policies
Indiana requires that teachers who receive an "ineffective" or "improvement necessary" evaluation rating be placed on a "remediation plan." The teacher has 90 school days to correct the deficiencies noted in the evaluation rating.
All teachers who receive "ineffective" ratings are considered to be probationary and are subject to dismissal upon receiving a second ineffective rating the following year.
