[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are [b]not supposed to make you go to two CLTs a week. [/b]You are supposed to have four hours a week of unencumbered planning time. That’s one hour a day for four days, and the worthless CLT meeting the other day. I know they often make people go to two per week, but it’s against the regulation. It’s in the 4000s in the school board policies on the FCPS website if you want to look it up. Search under the school board tab.[/quote]

I know this. I often refer to Reg. 4422.10, but many principals don't interpret the policy the way we do or they choose to ignore it. Short of being contractual in a collective bargaining agreement, there isn't much we can do about it. When I brought it up I was told that CTs are "teacher directed".

[i]Elementary teachers engaged in the responsibilities associated with their position on a fulltime basis shall be allowed 300 minutes of planning time per week or 600 minutes over a
2-week period. Within that time, a minimum of 60 minutes of collaborative planning time and 240 minutes of teacher-directed planning times per week or 120 minutes of
collaborative planning time and 480 minutes of teacher-directed planning times over a 2-
week period will be provided. Classroom planning time is provided during art, physical education, music, and/or other instructional programming. Other certified personnel without direct classroom responsibilities may also be assigned in a manner that provides planning time. Such assignments may only exceed 10 hours per week per position with the approval of the region assistant superintendent. [/i][/quote]
