The district-provided professional development includes: • Math for elementary and secondary teachers; • Teaching and Learning with Text for secondary core content teachers who are not participating in the math professional development; and, • Specialized content for various role groups. The goal of this pilot is to try to balance the needs of the teachers, schools, district and parents by calendaring the in-service days in advance and developing specific professional development. The District recognizes that the time, which is “banked” for in-services, is actually prep time that is given up by A-Schedule employees. In light of this, “Day One” of the in-service schedule will consist of a full day of uninterrupted “prep” for A-Schedule employees. In addition to this full day of preparation, the District agrees not to utilize the two hours beyond the duty under Article 5.C.4 for the period of August 9- September 6, 2007. The Federation agrees to support the pilot by supporting the District’s requirement that if an A-Schedule employee uses sick leave on two or more in-service days, the teacher will provide a doctor’s excuse upon his/her return to work. This pilot will be evaluated jointly by the District and the Federation before next spring’s negotiations to see if it merits continuation, with or without modification, for the 2008-2009 school year.
