Half-time Class Size Reduction Teacher Clause Samples

The 'Half-time Class Size Reduction Teacher' clause establishes the provision for employing a teacher on a half-time basis specifically to reduce class sizes. In practice, this means that a teacher will be assigned to work part-time, focusing on supporting classrooms where student numbers exceed certain thresholds or where additional instructional support is needed. This arrangement helps to ensure more individualized attention for students and can improve overall classroom management. The core function of this clause is to address overcrowding in classrooms by providing targeted teaching resources, thereby enhancing the quality of education and supporting both students and existing staff.
