[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools have broken it up into either two 45 minute sessions or one 90 minute session that creates an extra specials block first thing in the morning. In both cases teachers are losing that 40 minutes they had on days that there was no staff meeting, grade meeting, or CLC. In addition to the LEAP blocks they are also being observed weekly by the LEAP Leader and having to do a post conference with said LL during planning time. In a way it is better to knock it out in one shot with a full 90 minute session because you just plan for that day being shot as far as planning is concerned. The schools that have it spread over several days are probably most impacted. [/quote]

One full day being shot--morning before kids arrive AND planning--on the same day is HUGE! That's 20% of your planning gone for the week. I don't know anyone who wants to work a full day with no break.

Add to that 1 day being blown each week the CLC, grade level, department and post-observation meetings. My school also has meetings for co-teachers which is nearly every core subject & special Ed teacher.

So where's the time to plan, call and meet with parents, grade etc???[/quote]
