SCHEDULES & WORK LOAD Clause Samples

SCHEDULES & WORK LOAD. A. MCEA and the Board agree with national and state reports that confirm:  Maximizing instructional time is vital for student learning.  Teaching and learning take place in different ways, at different times, and by using different styles for individual students.  Time for paying attention to individual students, for planning and preparing to teach, for observing and assisting colleagues, for group work, and for individual study also needs to be built into the working day.  To improve our ability to maximize student learning, teachers should have additional opportunities to plan with other teachers, to participate in relevant professional development experiences, and to be involved more fully in making the key decisions that affect their daily responsibilities.  During the school day, teachers should be able to focus their complete attention on facilitating the learning of their students. However, involvement in school activities is the responsibility of all professional staff.  More flexible use of time encourages student growth and initiative and enables schools to direct resources more effectively to where they are most needed.  Professionals involved in a meaningful and legitimate process of school governance and decision-making must be fully engaged in the work, activities, and events that are the life of the school. The parties affirm our mutual commitment to this vision and the conditions needed for quality schools and quality teaching and learning. It is our intention to continuously improve how time is structured and used. B. 1. While professional personnel will often work more than eight hours per day, the professional salary schedule is based on an eight-hour workday.
