IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. I. INTRODUCTION
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. Any teacher who successfully completes the “Massachusetts Sheltered English Instruction Teacher Endorsement Course” will be granted three credits for lateral movement by the Quaboag Regional School District regardless of whether the course was taken for graduate credits or professional development points. This will include any teacher who took the course in the 2014 -2015 school year or any time after that. The Quaboag Education Association and the Quaboag Regional School Committee understand that these lateral movement credits are good only within the Quaboag Regional School District if the course was taken for professional development points. Teachers may also earn credits toward vertical and lateral salary movement with in-house credits awarded to staff by the Quaboag Regional School District for professional development activities. These credits are called Cougar Credits. Details of the program and forms are in an addendum to this contract.
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. Any evaluation performance pursuant to this procedure which contains an unsatisfactory rating of a unit member’s performance in the area of teaching methods or instruction may include the requirement that the unit member participate in a program designed to improve appropriate areas of the unit member’s performance and to further pupil achievement and instructional objectives of the District. A unit member shall not be required to participate in such a program unless an attempt is made to reach agreement on the nature of the program with the unit member. Should the unit member and the evaluator not reach agreement on the nature of the program, the superintendent shall determine the nature of the program; such program shall relate to the unsatisfactory rating.
