[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advisory doesn't count, if you do the math, you still get the mandatory minutes of planning a week. FYI you don't get coverage pay for covering it either 🙄[/quote]

Maybe not. Page 44 states that 50% of our time during the student day when we aren’t teaching a class is supposed to be individually managed. So it can’t be duties like advisory and meetings for more than 50%. They have to meet this AND the minimum planning time. I pointed this out to my principal because I’m PT and on the days I cover an advisory or study hall I don’t have to attend team meetings[/quote]

50% of non instructional time. Unfortunately advisory is not instruction according to MCEA so basically this just means you get 1 free period a day to yourself, [/quote]

Where is that stated in writing and from whom? We do not have course codes or Synergy gradebooks or even have to create lesson plans for advisory, therefore it is a duty. And 50% of the time we are not teaching the course codes we are assigned has to be individually managed time. Page 44 of the contract. Read it![/quote]

You just answered your own question. There is no Synergy code, it is non instructional. Your school has discretion on assigning duties within your day as long as you get 225 minutes of planning time a week. That is exactly five 45 minute periods. One a day. [/quote]

I am not an MCPS teacher. That’s ridiculous. How can anybody get their work done in a mere 45 minutes a day?

It shouldn’t be assumed that teachers will get all their work done on their own time.
