[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even PT teachers have to cover advisory, attend team and department meetings, biweekly PD meetings and after school staff meetings. You also have to write quarterly reports for any kid with an IEP/504. You have to write SLO’s and you’re on the same type of evaluation cycle as full time teachers.

This doesn’t count other duties like study halls, etc. schools utilize every adult in the building. Working PT in MCPS sucks. [/quote]

I’m part time and you absolutely don’t have to do all that.  Data collection and IEP reporting? Absolutely - that’s part of ensuring student success and compliance. I do not have to do any meetings after school, no advisory, no covering classes, no meetings during the day. That’s why I went part-time because I was so burnt out.  Going part-time was my last effort before quitting all together to help me get more of a work/life balance. I’m an alternative cert - I used to conduct bench science - and the workloads of teachers are intense.  [/quote]

Glad you have a supportive admin and a large faculty. At my school all teachers, even team Leaders have to do all of these things because there just aren’t enough adults for the number of students. We have several PT teachers and they have to do all the things as well. These are 0.6 and 0.8 PT secondary teachers[/quote]

Oh I’m so sorry. That’s not the norm at all. At least in the other schools I have been in too. That’s why I went part-time this year. Because I saw how it reduced the work load. They can’t make you work past your allotted hours without paying you. I hope you went to your union rep. [/quote]
