Subject: Disciplinary Action Regarding Performance
Dear Ms. Johnson,
This letter serves as a formal notice concerning recent performance concerns and the necessary steps we must take to address them.
It has come to our attention that your performance has not met the established expectations of [School Name] for the following reasons:
-
Failure to submit lesson plans on time: Despite repeated reminders, lesson plans have been consistently submitted late, which impacts the ability of your colleagues and supervisors to prepare and support the curriculum.
-
Delayed grading and return of student assessments: Student grades and assessments have been returned later than expected, which has caused frustration among students and their parents, disrupting the flow of the academic calendar.
-
Classroom management concerns: There have been multiple reports of disruptive behavior in your classroom, which have not been addressed effectively. This has led to a decrease in the overall learning environment and student engagement.
As you are aware, [School Name] holds its staff to high professional standards. All teachers must adhere to these standards to ensure a positive, productive learning environment for all students. Unfortunately, these ongoing issues have been addressed informally in past meetings with your supervisor, but the lack of improvement has now led to this formal disciplinary action.
We are issuing this disciplinary letter to notify you that your performance will be closely monitored over the next 30 days, and a formal review meeting will be scheduled on December 28, 2024, to evaluate the progress made. During this period, the following steps are expected:
-
Immediate improvement in lesson plan submissions: Ensure all lesson plans are submitted at least 48 hours before the start of each week’s lessons. Failure to meet this deadline will result in further action.
-
Timely grading and feedback: Ensure that all student assessments and grades are returned within one week of the assessment date.
-
Classroom management improvement: Attend a professional development workshop on classroom management techniques and implement those strategies in your classroom.
Additionally, you will meet with your supervisor every two weeks to discuss your progress and receive feedback.
Please understand that this letter is not intended to be punitive but rather a constructive step toward ensuring your success as a valued member of our teaching staff. We are committed to providing you with the necessary resources and support to improve your performance. However, continued failure to meet the expectations outlined may result in further disciplinary action, including suspension or termination.
Should you have any questions regarding this letter or need additional clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
We trust that you will take this opportunity to address the concerns and work toward improvement.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Principal
