Current Situation Teacher work day is 7.5 hours (7:30-3:00) ● Students are in classrooms at 7:30am and leave at 2:45pm ● Teachers have 200 minutes of plan time during the week ● Students go to non-core content classes (art, music, PE, Technology (in classroom), Library) ○ Each class is 40 minutes start to finish ○ No grade level attends specials altogether at the same time (no collaboration time) ● 5 specials -- 6 or 7 classes per grade level ○ Library schedule is different from master schedule due to sharing with THS/TMS ■ Share teachers with MS (MS shares with HS) ○ Inconsistent schedule of available special areas ○
How is plan time used now? When do teachers collaborate? Independent grading ● Independent Lesson Planning ● Copying ● Creating/preparing materials ● Parent Communication ● Irregular collaboration with team members (not all) ● Not all team members available ○ May need to interrupt other classes for questions ○ Title and Intervention Specialists are rarely available ○ Restroom break ● Travel time between drop off and pick up ● Teachers collaborate outside of contracted time ● After school ○ Lunch Time ○
Why do teachers need to collaborate?
John Hattie’s Effect Size Collective teacher efficacy (CTE) refers to a staff's shared belief that through their collective action , they can positively influence student outcomes, including those who are disengaged and/or disadvantaged.
What will happen during this common collaboration time? Four Essential PLC Questions Teachers still use individual plan time for: ● Creating/Modifying common formative ○ assessments Independent grading ● Regular data analysis of classroom, grade ○ Independent Lesson Planning ● level and district assessments Copying ● Sharing of student work samples ○ Creating/preparing materials ● Sharing of instructional strategies ○ Parent Communication ● MTSS/RTI discussions regarding ○ classroom, grade and building level responses Academic and Behavioral ■ Interventions Inclusive of Intervention ■ Specialists and Title teachers RTI/IEP Meetings ■ Creating/Modifying curriculum maps and ○ pacing guides
Teacher/staff concerns PROs CONs/Challenges Daily Common Plan Time - supports student Bus driver midday supervision (driving hours instruction/learning increase) Uninterrupted before students arrive (40 minutes daily) *30 min less instructional time* Inclusive of Title, Intervention Specialists, Unified HIVE/Time scheduling challenges but will NOT Arts be eliminated Keeps individual specials during school day (similar to current schedule) Pre-school hours Student attentiveness (witnessed during 2-hour delays) SUN Staff child supervision Staff meetings during work hours District mtg scheduling after school YMCA - possible partnership for before and after school supervision Families have students on different schedules Elem transported separate from MS/HS reduced car traffic during arrival/dismissal
Potential Parent/Community Challenges & Concerns Later Start Time ● YMCA - partnership to offer on-site child care before and after ○ school i. Affordable ii. Offers Financial Assistance for Families Change in times creates change in convenience ● YMCA option ○ Later afternoon could be a possible benefit to working parents ○ Opportunity for teachers to improve instruction of students ○
We believe the Pros outweigh the Cons/Challenges Regular Collaboration Time that is inclusive of our support teachers ● Teachers supporting each others’ instruction ○ Opportunities to innovate instruction from the inside ● Increased focus on planning for student needs ● Increase efficiency of core instruction during the student day ● More focused intervention and enrichment ● Increased communication across grade levels, support teachers and ● administration
