[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They really need to bring back the "half day Mondays" (what we called them).

Every Monday was a 2 hr early release. Period.

Predictable. 
No random teacher work days or other wonky early dismissals.

A compromise that might work given the situation [/quote]

That wouldn’t do it for me - I mean, that’s not a “benefit” that would compensate for a lower salary.  [/quote]

So you don't want more planning time?  That seems to have been a useful block of time for ES teachers and getting rid of it seems to have caused lots of strain.  [/quote]

I taught back when we had half day Mondays. They were often full of meetings. [/quote]

When we had early release Mondays (the students were in school for more than half a day), we often had meetings on Mondays and less planning time T-F than we have now. When they did away with the early release they wrote a policy that states ES teachers are supposed to have a minimum of 300 minutes planning time each week. Of those 300 minutes at least 240 are to be teacher directed and a minimum of 60 are to be spent meeting collaboratively. I think most schools don’t adhere to the 240 minutes of teacher directed time.

With a CBA, planning time could be contractual.[/quote]
