The Snake River School District Certificated Support Plan was developed by a committee of teachers and administrators asked to serve as the Coordinating Committee for the Support Plan. Their assignment included attending the initial planning meeting, approving the written plan, overseeing the annual evaluation of the plan, and making recommendations for needed improvements. Two of the teachers have many years of teaching experience, are Nationally Board Certified, and have served as mentors or cooperating teachers for Idaho State University. A first, second, and third year teacher completed the group. Teachers meeting the eligibility requirements will be approved by the District Professional Development Director and placed on the list for state reimbursement to be maintained by the District Bookkeeper.

Building principals provide leadership and support for the beginning teacher through frequent and honest communication. It is the principal s responsibility to acquaint beginning teachers with the district s personnel evaluation process and specific evaluation procedures . Snake River District Policy 7120 requires that each teacher who begins teaching in the district shall have a three-year probationary period prior to receiving a continuing contract. Non-continuing contract teachers are evaluated at least twice annually in writing using the approved evaluation instrument. At least one of the evaluations will be completed before January 1.
