Administration will provide 4 hours of time for TD&E activities per year to release educators for self-directed TD&E
work such as, modifying job embedded time, providing release time during required after school meetings, or using
time devoted to school professional development on non-student contact days. TD&E work will occur at various
points for each educator over the course of the school year.

It is recognized that by Minnesota Law administrators are able to enter classrooms at any time and conduct an
evaluation on all or part of the Standards of Effective Teaching. The TD&E committee recognizes that
administrators can observe teachers and give meaningful feedback on a regular basis during any part of the
three--year cycle (e.g. feedback through classroom visits and walkthroughs). If a teacher is found to be performing
below standard at any point, they may be placed on an improvement plan as outlined in the teacher collective
bargaining agreement, Article 18, Section 1, Subd. 3.
