[quote=Anonymous]I teach ES so less grading overall but teacher students are being asked to spend their planning periods on other things like meetings, meetings and more meetings. In the last two weeks, I have had one planning period to myself out of ten. I have had IEP meetings, retention meetings, EOY meetings with my admin, parent meetings. In a typical two week period, I have five out of ten planning periods to myself. Teachers have to prove how well they are teaching by collecting artifacts, etc. That takes up a lot of time. My friends who teach HS are forced to use their planning periods to reteach students so they can retake assessments/assignments. So since students decided not to study for assessments, teachers have to give up their minimal planning time to reteach and come up with new assessments. So the result of using up their teachers’ planning time is less time spent on grading, writing lesson plans, parent contact, etc. [/quote]
