Are experienced teachers required to complete an Annual Learning Plan (ALP) during their non-evaluation years?
Yes. A key component of the Teacher Performance Appraisal (TPA) process for the intervening years between evaluation years is the completion of an Annual Learning Plan. Each year, teachers, in consultation with their principal, are required to review and update their ALP, as necessary, from the previous year. This provides teachers and principals with an opportunity to collaborate and engage in meaningful discussions of teacher performance and growth strategies every year.
