The implementation of the consulting teacher in Illinois school districts

The Educational Reform Act of 1985 mandated a state teacher evaluation procedure which required the use of a consulting teacher. According to the legislation, whenever a tenured teacher receives an unsatisfactory rating, the school district is required to provide that teacher with a consulting teacher. These consulting teachers would be appointed locally or if the local district had no qualified or interested candidates, the district had to request the ISBE to appoint a consulting teacher from outside the district. With only minimal guidelines to follow, local school districts have attempted to implement the role of the consulting teacher.
