[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you only teach 3 classes per day, you are a PT employee. I have 5 classes per day and one planning period of 45 mins and a 30 min lunch. I cannot plan for 5 classes each day and grade in 45 mins. It is not possible. The salaries in this area aren't as low as some other states but this area is $$$$. My kids qualified for reduced priced meals and free preschool the first few years I worked in this area.[/quote]

No if you are on block scheduling that's a full time schedule. 3 classes of teaching, 1 of planning each day. A duty is also included on one of those A or B days so that day is 2 classes and 1 duty, and 1 planning. If you are on traditional scheduling still, you would teach 4-5 of those 6 blocks which is equal to us teaching 3/4. [/quote]

I've never heard of any school with this scheduling. I teach math plus 4 math small groups, reading with 5 small reading groups, phonics with 5 small reading groups and well as science or social studies each day. Each one of those (including the small groups) requires a lesson plan. We have weekly lesson plan checks and they are included in our teacher duties which is part of our annual EOY evaluation. Plus two out of five planning periods is cooperative with either grade teams or content teams. A third planning can be used for IEP or SST meetings which means that some weeks, I get only two 45 min planning periods per week. [/quote]
