[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my first year in MCPS (coming from Anne Arundel)..teaching secondary...the contract states secondary teachers should not teach more than 5 classes. However, we have advisory every single day for 45 minutes which puts us at technically 6 classes. Is this a contract violation or does it not count because it's advisory? Advisory isn't just a study hall either (if this matters). We are required to teach lessons, usually SEL. Thanks in advance![/quote]
Are you in MS or HS? Every day for 45 minutes seems excessive. Our HS has advisory every Wednesday, but it is attached to a different period on a rotating basis. (3 times with 1st, then 2nd, etc.) Lessons are provided. I do those first, then since they are usually too short for the time, that class period get extra time to continue working on my content.

A better way to think about you planning time is that you should be getting 45 minutes per day that is your own choice for how to spend. If you aren’t getting that, find one of your building union reps or EFRs and have a conversation about it with them.[/quote]
