Must have 4s in all areas. Teachers who receive evaluations that would place them in a lower category are entitled to another review the following year and are frozen at their current level during that year. If the next review affirms the previous ranking, the teacher is moved down in pay scale. If the teacher is ranked at his original level, he will be placed in that category and advanced one salary step. If a teacher is dropped to Novice range, he will be put on Intervention status and be monitored by administrators.
Teachers can also receive bonuses for helping a school reach a pre-set target on proficiency tests.
