[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is working to the clock? [/quote] It means that they only work during scheduled hours, so tasks that they would ordinarily do outside of the 8 hours they are contracted to work are left undone. So, it might mean that assignments would be left ungraded, or that a teacher would cancel lunchtime tutoring sessions in order to grade. Or it might mean that a teacher would drop out from chaperoning a field trip that is expected to arrive back at school late. Or that activities like science experiments and guided reading groups, that take substantial outside of school time to plan, are replaced by other, easier to plan, lessons. I haven't heard that DCPS teachers are or aren't planning this, just explaining what working to the clock means. It's a step that a union takes when they are trying to avoid a strike.[/quote]
