Other Professional Work Clause Samples

Other Professional Work. Appropriate Other Professional Work for any period of time, during these specified blocks, during which Parent Engagement and/or Professional Development activities are not taking place are: collaborative plan- ning; Lesson Study; Inquiry and review of student work; Measures of Student Learning (“MOSL”) -related work; IEP related work (excluding IEP meetings); work with or related to computer systems/data entry; preparing and grading student assessments; mentoring; as well as responsibilities related to teacher leader duties for all individuals in Teacher Leadership Positions. Teach- ers shall select from the activities listed to engage in during these blocks of time unless otherwise directed by the principal to another activity specified herein. In addition to the activities listed here, a teacher or a group of teachers may propose additional activities that may include working with a student or students for any portion of the school year, which requires approval by the principal. In addition, as provided for in Sec- tion I.B., an SDC may choose to also meet to continue its work during times when Other Professional Work is appropriate. There will be one (1) or two (2) periods of time during the school year, based upon a school’s MOSL selections, one in the Fall and one in the Spring, each of which shall be a minimum of 6 weeks in duration, that will be designated as “MOSL windows” for the entire school district by the DOE. The 6 week time periods need not be consecutive weeks. During these “MOSL windows” teachers shall be permitted to devote as much time as necessary during the entire Parent Engagement periods of time to perform MOSL related work. Should teachers not have the need to do MOSL related work during the MOSL window, they shall engage in either Parent Engagement or Other Professional Work as set forth herein.
