Teacher Load and Assignment Sample Clauses
The "Teacher Load and Assignment" clause defines how teaching responsibilities and class assignments are distributed among teachers. It typically outlines the maximum number of classes, subjects, or hours a teacher may be assigned, and may specify criteria for assigning extra duties or special classes. This clause ensures a fair and manageable workload for teachers, helping to prevent overburdening staff and promoting effective educational delivery.
Teacher Load and Assignment. 13.1 When regular teachers of special subjects are assigned to instruct a total classroom unit in physical education, art, and music, the regular classroom teacher shall not be required to remain in the classroom unless the classroom teacher’s presence will serve the continuity of instruction. The necessity for the teacher remaining will be determined by the building principal.
13.2 If the administration requests a teacher to substitute during his/her planning time, the teacher shall be paid $17.50 for each class period covered.
13.3 Teacher participation in extracurricular activities after the regular school day for which no additional compensation is paid shall be voluntary. Non-participation in such activities shall not be a valid item for teacher evaluation purposes.
13.4 Regular monthly faculty meetings called by the principal shall be scheduled at the beginning of the school year. Such meeting shall be cancelled or rescheduled if necessary. When held in the afternoon, said meetings shall commence as soon as possible following student dismissal time and shall be completed within one-half (1/2) hour, if possible. Other urgent meetings may be called. Routine administrative and Association announcements should be reduced to writing and distributed to all teachers instead of being part of the meeting agenda. All teachers shall attend faculty meetings unless excused by the building principal.
13.5 All regular teachers shall be assigned within their area(s) of certification and every effort will be made to assign substitutes within their areas of certification. This provision shall apply to new teachers employed for the 1984-85 school year and thereafter.
13.6 Teachers who will be affected by a change in grade and/or building assignment in the elementary grades and by changes in subject assignments in the secondary grades shall be informed by their principal or Superintendent and discuss the change with him/her prior to December 1st, when possible, for the second semester and prior to June 1st, when possible, for the following year. Any further changes will be made only after discussion with the teacher or teachers concerned. The Superintendent will retain the statutory right to assign teachers.
