Open Instructional Sections. Within the first month of school, elementary administrators and PE/music/library teachers will have a collaborative conversation about open sections in the schedule. The collaborative conversation will consider (in no particular order): reasonable impact of workload, the need for additional planning time based on assignment, teacher experience meaningful use of time, and any other staff impacted. Open sections should be focused on students. Examples of use of time may include, but are not limited to: (in no particular order) ● Pull-out small reading/mathematics group ● Supporting students’ SEL needs ● Check and connect ● Push-in for academic or SEL support ● Lunchtime choir/sports activity ● Additional library check-out ● Co-teaching ● Additional time for students to focus on specific activities (e.g., library for research, makerspace)
