Within the above parameters, the specific agenda for such common planning will be determined by the building principal for three of the monthly common planning periods, and the building teachers will determine the specific agendas for the remaining monthly common planning period. While not required, the District and Association support determining the agendas for such meetings/opportunities collaboratively at the building level. The participants in common planning will provide a report of activities undertaken during such time to the building principal.

All required work for common planning must be completed within the time allotted, however it is understood that teachers may engage in work outside of the common planning periods if they wish to do so to prepare for the common planning periods and that some planning work discussed during common planning time is intended to be used and implemented during instruction, and that some expected classroom teacher work such as grading exams, etc. will still occur outside of common planning time even if that work is used in common planning time. The parties agree that the intent of CPT is to inform/improve a teacher’s instruction and not create work in addition to the daily instructional process for teachers. It is understood that building administrators may attend and participate in common planning periods, including the teacher- determined periods.
