[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In APS, elem. teachers have 360 minutes (min) of planning time weekly with a 45 min daily minimum, but the exact number and the way it is used both vary widely. At our school, teachers have two PLCs each week, so there goes 90 min of planning time. And meetings do sometimes happen at lunch, even though our lunch is supposedly duty free.[/quote] At my APS school, they include the 20 minutes in the morning setup time before kids arrive—except that kids are officially allowed in the classroom during that time to eat breakfast (or just hang out). Sure we can continue doing some prep during that time, but we can’t run out to make a copy or use the bathroom. There goes 100 minutes of that 360 minutes planning time. FCPS seemed to do much better with this by making specials last a full hour daily so that our planning time was maximized.[/quote]
