Unsatisfactory Evaluations: New York
Exiting Ineffective Teachers Policy
Analysis of New York's policies
New York requires local districts to place teachers who receive an ineffective evaluation rating on an improvement plan. The state articulates that teachers with "patterns of ineffective teaching," which is defined as two consecutive ineffective ratings on the performance evaluation, may be charged with incompetency, which would make them eligible for just cause dismissal.
