[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] admin continues to push back.  [/quote]
OP what are they pushing back on?  Classload, or attendance at meetings?  [/quote]

Attendance at a weekly (sometimes biweekly) meeting that takes place during my only planning period. Our after school faculty and department meetings go right up to the 2 1/2 monthly limit. Also, as a PT teacher I’m supposed to attend meetings at a ratio equal to my allocation. So I should only be attending 60% of the meetings that a FTE is required to attend.

I also have issues with class size and number of preps. Even though I only teach 3 periods, because they combined courses I am teaching 7 different curriculums. This requires more planning than if I were teaching 7 different courses separately.

Also, being new to MCPS I’m capped at entry level 8. So I’m making about what a full time para would make. I’m putting in that many hours to try and stay afloat but it’s not worth the stress!

Met with my building union rep and they were very helpful in starting the negotiations with admin. This also takes up more of my time that I need to be answering parent emails or completing loads of required IEP/504 paperwork. [/quote]
