Teaching Workload Sample Clauses
The Teaching Workload clause defines the amount and distribution of teaching responsibilities assigned to an employee, typically within an academic or educational institution. It outlines the expected number of teaching hours, courses, or credits per term, and may specify how duties are divided among lectures, seminars, and other instructional activities. This clause ensures clarity and fairness in workload expectations, helping to prevent disputes and manage staff resources effectively.
Teaching Workload. The standard teaching load for academic members on a full-time regular appointment shall normally be between fifteen (15) and eighteen (18) credit hours in one (1) academic year. Variation within this range shall be determined by the factors outlined in Article 9.4(a); particularly by a member’s scholarship/research activities. Variations outside this range are possible (e.g. Article 7.12(d) and (e); Article 9.5(b), (c), and (d)) provided that teaching workload is assigned as outlined in Article 9.4 and does not violate Clause 9.3.1 (b - i).
Teaching Workload. (a) Teaching load credit for synchronous or asynchronous courses shall equal the student credit hour rating, with the exception of synchronous or asynchronous courses with fewer than three (3) students enrolled for which the teaching load credit shall be one-third (1/3) the student credit hour rating.
(b) Where, as part of assigning workload, the member and the ▇▇▇▇/Director agree to the teaching of a synchronous course and mutually agree that teaching the course shall involve regular travel between classroom sites more than 100 km from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ University, the assigned teaching workload shall be one and one-half (1.5) times the number of student credit hours.
Teaching Workload. The underlying principles for establishing teaching load are to meet the needs of students and program requirements effectively and efficiently, and to provide a supportive teaching/learning environment. Since teaching methods vary among disciplines, each department and college is best able to assess the efforts required in teaching in its discipline(s).
9.2.1 The parties agree to continue stable teaching load practices for faculty that maintain the historic departmental levels of teaching or librarianship constituting one FTE workload in each college. Deans will continue to have discretion over allocating resources across departments within the college. The current collaboration between the ▇▇▇▇ and the department chairs will continue. Department chairs shall continue to have the flexibility to make changes in individual workload among faculty members due to programmatic, curricular and student needs.
9.2.2 Class size is a component of the historic departmental level of teaching as defined in section 9.2.
1. A ▇▇▇▇ may suggest an examination of class size options. A faculty member may propose to redesign a course in a way that results in a change in the historic class size. Any proposal to make adjustments to class size must be pedagogically sound, maintain quality, meet the needs of students, and be feasible within the resources of the unit/college concerned. The proposal must be approved by the department and the ▇▇▇▇.
9.2.3 The ▇▇▇▇ of the college will determine, in consultation with the chairs, the courses and sections to be offered and the allocation of faculty teaching workload across faculty in the department, within the resources available.
9.2.4 In collaboration with the ▇▇▇▇, each department shall develop a policy to determine the distribution of the departmental teaching load among its members. In determining the teaching workload of faculty members, departments will develop measures for the effort involved in teaching courses of different types and sizes and with different meeting schedules, and measures for the effort involved in other tasks (such as labs, studio classes, supervision of student projects, theses or performances, and the coordination of group activities or multiple sections). The same criteria shall apply to all faculty members in the department. The departmental policies must be approved by the ▇▇▇▇ and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
9.2.5 With approval of the ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, tenure-track and tenured faculty may be permitted to buy out teachi...
Teaching Workload. Each faculty member shall receive a provisional teaching workload for the next academic year by May 15. This provisional workload may be changed at a later date, due to unforeseen operational requirements. Faculty members shall be provided their teaching schedule not less than ten (10) weeks prior to the commencement of the term. In the event of previously unforeseen circumstances this schedule may be changed before the commencement of the term. In such cases the change must be made as early as possible and with the agreement of the faculty member, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Assignment of teaching load to a faculty member shall be determined in a fair, equitable and transparent manner, based on the existing Department/School Teaching Standard and shall depend on relevant factors including but not limited to the following:
1. the number of different courses or course areas taught by each faculty member;
2. the number of scheduled hours per course;
3. teaching and evaluation methods, and the number of hours of preparation, grading and administration per course;
4. the expected student enrolment in each class, and the total number of students in a faculty member's classes;
5. the number of hours of academic counselling and consulting per course;
6. the degree of teaching and/or marking support provided to the faculty member teaching a given course;
7. the type (lecture, studio, placement, fieldwork, practicum, laboratory, seminar, etc.) of each course;
8. the level (introductory, upper year, graduate etc.) of each course;
9. the availability of academic assistants;
10. additional hours of preparation for a new course or substantially revised course;
11. the amount of field, clinical, research, thesis, and other academic supervision of students;
Teaching Workload. Effective September 16, 2021, each academic unit or college shall implement guidelines determining teaching workload for bargaining unit members. These guidelines and future revisions to the guidelines shall be made and reviewed with faculty input. Guidelines will address standard course or credit loads for full and part-time faculty in tenure-track or fixed-term positions, as well as situations governing exceptions that may be granted. The guidelines will also include procedures by which bargaining unit members can address cases of excessive workload. Part-time or full-time status may not be used as the basis for assigning a different per course FTE.
Teaching Workload. A. The full-time teaching load shall be considered to consist of fifteen (15) contact hours per week. Twelve (12) contact hours per week shall be considered to be the workload for full- time teachers who teach three (3) or more composition classes (English 088, 091, 092, 093, 131, 132, 135, 139).
B. It is understood by the parties that the fifteen (15) contact hour full-time teaching load requires an equal number of hours per week in preparation and follow-up relative to classroom instruction.
C. The teaching load shall also include two (2) announced, posted, and scheduled conference hours, during which teachers shall be regularly available to students, for each three (3) contact hours in a teacher’s contractual assignments.

E. A General College contact hour is defined as a fifty to fifty-two (50 to 52) minute classroom session, depending on the number of minutes necessary to meet the State contact hour mandate, inclusive of laboratory periods, and an apprentice program contact hour is defined as a fifty-five (55) minute classroom session, inclusive of laboratory periods.
F. Extra-contractual compensation shall be paid for any contact hours in excess of an annual thirty (30) contact hour contractual load.
G. Should the contact hours for courses available within the teaching discipline for which the teacher was hired result in an annual contractual contact hour load of less than thirty (30) contact hours, the shortfall in contact hours shall be covered by treating an equivalent number of extra-contractual contact hours the teacher may be teaching in that particular contractual year as contractual contact hours having no extra-contractual compensation.
H. Should a teacher have no extra-contractual contact hours to apply toward contractual load in a year in which an approved annual contractual contact hour load is less than thirty (30) contact hours, the teacher’s contractual compensation shall be reduced by an amount equivalent to what would be the teacher’s extra-contractual compensation for the deficient number of contractual contact ho...
