II. YEAR TWO THE TEACHING & LEARNING PATHWAY

We believe that teachers in their second year at AISC are prepared to focus on teaching and learning in a more robust way than during their transition. This pathway is designed to provide an appropriate level of support for second-year teachers as they settle into the community and begin to live AISC’s Mission more intentionally.

As such, professionals in their first year at AISC will focus on the following standards:

● Standard 2: Models Growth

● Standard 5: Collaborates

● Standard 7: Builds Community

❑ By September 15th, the professional will meet with their supervisor to identify two to three indicators of success for each of the three standards. Potential evidence and data to collect in support of these indicators will also be noted.

❑ Before February, the supervisor will provide feedback and have at least one “check-in” dialogue regarding progress toward the standards. Professionals can request more regular “check-ins” to support their growth as needed.

III. YEAR THREE AND BEYOND THE PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PATHWAY

In support of continued professional growth, employees in year three and beyond will focus on standards as mutually agreed upon with their supervisor. Ideally, all nine standards are addressed every three years meaning that professionals in their third year at AISC will likely address Standards 3 (Leading Others), Standard 4 (Innovates) and Standard 9 (Demonstrates Integrity) before returning to previously addressed standards. However, as some goals and success indicators related to particular standards may take more than one year to achieve, professionals can request to repeat standards for more than one year. Employees are encouraged to challenge themselves to address all standards during their tenure at AISC.

❑ By September 15th, the professional will meet with their supervisor to identify two to three indicators of success for each of the three standards. Potential evidence and data to collect in support of these indicators will also be noted.

❑ Before February, the supervisor will provide feedback and have at least one “check-in” dialogue regarding progress toward the standards. Professionals can request more regular “check-ins” to support their growth as needed.
