Developing or ineffective (teachers and principals) Developed through negotiations – there is no language that says individual elements must be negotiated Within 10 days after report date for new school year Collec- tively, not indivi- dually

Challenge the “substance” of the review Challenge adherence to standards and methodologies Challenge adherence to regulations and negotiated procedures

In addition to 3012-c requirements, districts must post how all others are evaluated (old APPR) in 100.2(o). Do NOT have to use HEDI for all others. Just need to post old plan for all the others NOTE
