Sec. 2.
(a) For
				implementation during the 2012-2013 school year, each school corporation shall
				develop or adopt a staff performance evaluation plan to evaluate the
				performance of each certified employee per IC
				20-28-11.5-4.
(b) Any staff performance evaluation plan
				shall include the following performance level descriptors and definitions for
				category designation under the plan. A school corporation may supplement, but
				not replace, definitions of the performance level descriptors to appropriately
				reflect the selected or developed evaluation system.
(1) Highly effective. A highly effective
				teacher consistently exceeds expectations both in terms of student outcomes and
				instructional practice. This is a teacher who has demonstrated excellence, as
				determined by a trained evaluator, in locally selected competencies reasonably
				believed to be highly correlated with positive student learning outcomes. The
				highly effective teacher's students, in aggregate, have exceeded expectations
				for academic growth and achievement based on guidelines suggested by the
				department, which shall be published annually by August 1.
(2) Effective. An effective teacher
				consistently meets expectations both in terms of student outcomes and
				instructional practice. This is a teacher who has consistently met
				expectations, as determined by a trained evaluator, in locally selected
				competencies reasonably believed to be highly correlated with positive student
				learning outcomes. The effective teacher's students, in aggregate, have
				achieved an acceptable rate of academic growth and achievement based on
				guidelines suggested by the department, which shall be published annually by
				August 1.
(3) Improvement
				necessary. A teacher who is rated as improvement necessary requires a change in
				performance before he/she meets expectations either in terms of student
				outcomes or instructional practice. This is a teacher who a trained evaluator
				has determined to require improvement in locally selected competencies
				reasonably believed to be highly correlated with positive student learning
				outcomes. In aggregate, the students of a teacher rated improvement necessary
				have achieved a below acceptable rate of academic growth and achievement based
				on guidelines suggested by the department, which shall be published annually by
				August 1.
(4) Ineffective. An
				ineffective teacher consistently fails to meet expectations both in terms of
				student outcomes and instructional practice. This is a teacher who has failed
				to meet expectations, as determined by a trained evaluator, in locally selected
				competencies reasonably believed to be highly correlated with positive student
				learning outcomes. The ineffective teacher's students, in aggregate, have
				achieved unacceptable levels of academic growth and achievement based on
				guidelines suggested by the department, which shall be published annually by
				August 1.
