What happens if an induction educator fails to meet the success criteria of STEP 1 and the Induction year?
Failure to meet the four STEP 1 success criteria will result in an induction educator receiving a “NOT MET” judgment for TIPS. If granted a contract for the 20010-2011 school year, the induction educator’s contract status will be negatively impacted by this “NOT MET” judgment. Furthermore, meeting the State Board of Education requirements for advancement from an initial certificate to a professional certificate could take longer than necessary, thus prolonging the time by which the Employment and Dismissal Act does not apply.
