Elementary Teaching Hours Sample Clauses
Elementary Teaching Hours. 1. The normal teaching load in the elementary school shall consist of a maximum of 25 hours and 15 minutes per week of in-class instruction time with the length of period and frequency of recitation to be determined by the Teacher and Principal.
2. The 25 hours and 15 minutes per week of elementary instruction time does not include supervision of students before and after school, when students are eating lunch, noon recess, or the time when students receive instruction from special teaching personnel, such as music, physical education, art, comprehensive guidance, and library. The elementary instructional time is time spent by a classroom Teacher providing instruction for his/her class. In no case shall this be interpreted in such a way to exceed the school day for Teachers as defined in Article IV - Paragraph A.
3. Instruction time for special teaching personnel, such as music, physical education, art, comprehensive guidance, and library shall be clearly defined in the beginning of each school year. The input and participation in the process shall include the personnel impacted by such decision, the Elementary Principals, and an Association representative.
Elementary Teaching Hours. No elementary classroom teacher will be assigned more than 1670 minutes of student instruction time during a typical five day week, i.e. an average of 334 minutes per day, exclusive of recess and special teacher instruction. Scheduled annual instructional time will not exceed five (5) hours above state mandated instructional time.
1. Elementary classroom teachers in grades 1 through 5 shall have a minimum of 240 minutes per full week of instruction designated as preparation time at a minimum of 30 minutes per day in addition to any unassigned time before and/or after the regular class schedule and during recess. Special teacher instruction will be scheduled so as to provide the designated preparation time as equitably as possible.
2. The schedules of kindergarten and other elementary instructional staff members will be made as comparable to those of the regular classroom teachers described above as possible. When the special teacher instruction required by Section 1 above results in less than comparable schedules for the teacher(s) providing it (taking into account the student passing time and teacher travel time involved in these assignments), such teacher(s) may be assigned other instructional responsibilities for which they are qualified, or if necessary to bus, recess or other supervision duties to create greater comparability.
3. Except in cases of emergency or inclement weather, classroom teachers in the elementary schools will be relieved of recess duties. The building principal or designee shall determine the need for indoor recess due to inclement weather.
4. Elementary teachers may be assigned to assist in the arrival and dismissal of students. These duties shall be assigned as equitably as possible based on unassigned contact minutes. The need for supervision will be shared with CCC prior to implementation.
5. To the extent necessary to meet state mandated clock hour requirements, all teachers assigned full time to elementary buildings will be expected to provide continuous supervision on a rotating basis during all scheduled student recess periods. It is understood that while this responsibility may require deviations from the limitations outlined elsewhere in this section, it may not interfere with the duty free lunch period specified in Section C3.
