[quote=Anonymous]As others have pointed out, Teacher Workdays allow teachers extended time to complete the previous Quarter's administrative tasks, grading, and/or allow grade level teams to collaborate on the next Quarter's instruction. While daily planning time (when not taken by meetings) helps teachers keep on track with copying, preparing materials, contacting parents, etc., Teacher workdays really allow teachers to plan ahead. Those of you in the business world - think about if you have a presentation to make to a client or other staff, you would use your workday to prepare, edit and practice your presentations, hand-outs, etc. and perhaps take several days to prepare. Teachers do not have this time - we are "presenting" all day to our students. Prep time and planning days are very valuable in delivering appropriate and relevent instruction for our students.
