How to Write a Teacher Remediation Plan

Remediation for a teacher involves writing a plan to address deficiencies in the teacher's practice in the classroom. Usually, these deficiencies are identified during formal observations. If a tenured teacher displays these deficiencies on a continuous basis, the school may write a remediation plan to give the teacher a chance to address the problems. This can be the final step before firing a tenured teacher. You must write a remediation plan carefully, because not only the teacher's career is at stake, so is the education of that teacher's students.

Instructions

    • 1

      Write legal information. You should take this information seriously, in case there is a dispute in the future. You should fill in the teacher's name as it appears on payroll records and give the teacher's license type. Give the date of the planning meeting to establish a remediation plan for the teacher.

    • 2

      Describe the behavior to be changed. This should be based on established teacher standards at the school or in the school system. If possible, refer to this standard by number. If there is no set of numbered standards, describe the teaching practice in detail that needs to be improved or changed. This description must be as specific as possible.

    • 3

      Describe the desired outcome. Give details about the results you want to see after the remediation. Your remediation plan hinges on the accuracy of this description. The teacher must know exactly what outcome is expected. You should add examples of the kinds of learning and teaching you expect to see going on in the classroom after remediation.

    • 4

      Give a timeline to meet the standard. You must set a deadline, so that the teacher knows when to expect a formal observation to confirm the remediation. This time goal becomes an agreement between you and the teacher that there is a set amount of time to address the deficiency.

    • 5

      Write a plan of action. You should include steps and techniques for helping the teacher take action on the remediation. This can include informal observations before the final deadline to make sure progress is being made. It should also include specific actions the teacher can take to improve the classroom learning experience for students.

    • 6

      List resources and assistance you will provide. This can include professional development classes and seminars, as well as printed resources and online courses. Listing these resources will show your good-faith effort to help the teacher improve. You may also assign a mentor, such as a more experienced teacher, to help the teacher going through remediation.
