Shared-Time Teaching Positions Clause Samples

The Shared-Time Teaching Positions clause establishes the terms under which two or more teachers share the responsibilities and duties of a single full-time teaching position. Typically, this arrangement outlines how teaching hours, classroom responsibilities, and benefits are divided between the participating teachers, ensuring that all instructional and administrative needs are met. By clearly defining the structure and expectations of shared-time roles, this clause facilitates flexible work arrangements while maintaining continuity and quality of instruction for students.
Shared-Time Teaching Positions. In order to achieve the benefits that might accrue to the district and its employees from authorizing the creation of shared time teaching positions and to assure that these benefits are not realized at the expense of the students affected, the Board and the Association agree to the arrangements outlined below. It is understood that the decision to authorize shared time positions, and the number of such positions authorized under the provisions outlined below will be at the sole discretion of the Board. Failure to grant a request for assignment to such a position shall not constitute the basis for any grievance, nor shall the granting of such a request constitute a binding precedent for any other such request. 1. Two full time, presently employed teachers may voluntarily agree to share one regular full time teaching position in grades one through five for which both are certified and qualified, and which is currently held by one of them, or to which they are entitled by virtue of the more senior teacher's seniority. Teachers agreeing to share a position will mutually work out arrangements with the principal of the building involved as to how they will cover all of the duties and responsibilities inherent in the shared position. Agreements to enter into shared teaching assignments will be made in writing, no later than April 30 each school year to cover the following school year. 2. Once agreed to, a shared teaching assignment will be binding on the teachers involved for the full school year covered by the agreement. If either of the teachers is absent for an extended period (i.e. ten or more school days in succession), or terminates employment, the other teacher will assume responsibility for the entire assignment for those portions of the school year involved. Each of the teachers will substitute for the other during intermittent and short-term absences whenever possible, and when not possible to make other arrangements with the building principal in advance. In any of these circumstances, the teachers assuming the extra assignment will be compensated at the district’s regular substitute rate. 3. The building administrator will allocate student contact time, assigned duty time, conference/preparation periods and other responsibilities of teachers assigned to shared time positions as equitably as possible. When exact equity cannot be achieved (e.g. if the administrator cannot equalize the specials assigned to the two portions of a shared assignment), the d...

  • TEACHING HOURS AND TEACHING LOAD Section 1 Work Day For the applicable agreement period, the normal work day will be seven and one-quarter (7 ¼) hours including arrival time fifteen (15) minutes before and departure time (15) minutes after the students’ school day. The normal work day will include uninterrupted prep time. The Building Principal, as authorized by the Superintendent, upon request of a teacher or group of teachers, may waive the requirement to remain fifteen (15) minutes after the school day for a specific day or days. It is recognized; however, that the proper performance of their duties may, on occasion, require these persons to work longer than the normal work day, i.e. for conferences, faculty meetings, department meetings, etc. Therefore, “mandatory meetings will occur two times per month and be no longer than 90 minutes in length, inclusive of the additional 15 minutes beyond the scheduled student school day. A schedule of the meetings will be distributed by June 30th of the previous school year, but may be changed at the discretion of the Principal with 48 hours’ notice.” Teachers will also remain at school after the fifteen (15) minutes described above, during one (1) day each calendar week for such periods of time as is necessary to provide students extra help, and/or to meet with parents or guardians, concerning the progress of their children or wards. No teacher shall be required to work more than a normal seven and one- quarter (7 ¼) hour day, including fifteen (15) minutes before and (15) minutes after the students’ school day, which will include uninterrupted prep time; this provision does not apply to other contractually agreed upon time and meetings. Should state law require a longer instructional day, or more days, the teachers shall work the added time and the parties shall immediately commence impact bargaining on the issue. This article does not purport to cover the arrival and departure time of teachers involved in special assignments. Section 2 Other Personnel Personnel other than classroom teachers will work at their assigned tasks for the length of the regular teachers' work day. The exact daily schedule will be worked out on an individual basis between the Administration and the employee with notification to the Association. Instructional Coaches are required to work an additional five (5) days at their per diem rate, beyond the work year for a total of 189 days. These days will be determined prior to the start of the new school year and at the discretion of the Superintendent and the Chief Academic Officer.

  • Teaching Load 11-1 The parties recognize that the number of students, the number of preparations, and the amount of planning time are related to student performance. 11-2 CLASS SIZE 11-2-1 The parties recognize that class size is related to economics and that reduction of class size is faced with fiscal constraints. The parties further recognize that it is not feasible at this time to set general numerical limitations upon class size because of physical space available, special programs, special student needs, attendance area variances, differences in scheduling systems, busing, and because of other variable causes affecting class size. Nevertheless, the parties shall make reasonable effort to maintain class size at reasonable, workable, and educationally effective levels in all situations. 11-3 TEACHER LOAD 11-3-1 Teaching load shall be defined as the number of separate class preparations that a teacher has per school day as delineated in the course description guide.
