[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child will be moving into a grade with an underperforming teacher.  Parents filed complaints all of this year, but the process for formal evaluation only began in the last few months.  It seems like the complaints are very legitimate, but we've been informed that "the process" for underperforming teachers has to play out.  This very unfortunately seems to mean that the teacher will be around all of next year (if not longer).  Both MCPS policy and the teachers' union are cited as the reasons why things take so long.

Has anyone experienced this and ended up with a positive resolution?  How can incoming parents build upon "the process" that was started this year, so that we're not starting from scratch with a possibly years-long process in the fall?  I understand trying to support the teacher so they can improve, having this incoming class have their own experiences, etc... but I'm also quite concerned, and want to know what I and other parents can do if there are problems in the classroom next year.[/quote]

"but the process for formal evaluation only began in the last few months." As opposed to when?

First semester observations get done by January ish, they flagged the teacher, a 2nd semester observation was done, they were submitted, 2 more were done and now they will get assigned support for the next school year. That is the process.[/quote]
