Instructional Load. 13.9.1 A Department Head normally shall instruct one-half of full-time.
13.9.2 An Instructional Associate, Assistant Department Head or Coordinator shall not normally instruct full-time.
13.9.3 The determination of actual instructional time for each instructor with responsibility appointments outlined in Article 13 Selection and Appointment of Instructional Associates, Department Heads, Assistant Department Heads and Coordinators, will be made by the appropriate Xxxx or Director in consultation with the individual involved in order to meet the needs of the School or Centre or department in question.
Instructional Load. 1. The development of the final master schedule is the responsibility of the Vice President for Academic Services who will be assisted by the Associate Vice President(s), Xxxx(s) and Division Chairpersons. The process of developing the master schedule will involve consultation with instructors and counseling staff.
2. Each Division Chairperson, Librarian, Counselor, Director, Advisor and Coordinator providing academic support services shall maintain a forty (40) hour week on campus and/or approved location. In instances when academic support services are less than full-time and released time is granted, the required time on campus shall be prorated relative to the assigned duties.
3. A normal load for an instructor is thirty (30) equated semester hours per academic year. A normal full load or its equivalent during any one (1) academic year may be derived from any course offered by the College. In addition to the above load formula, the following factors will be considered in the preparation of the master schedule:
a. The instructor should have three (3) or fewer unique preparations a semester if possible.
b. The instructor shall not be assigned for more than two (2) consecutive hours of lecture unless by mutual agreement of the instructor and division chairperson.
c. The normal workday for an instructor will not exceed an eight (8) hour span unless required to satisfy the instructor's teaching load or by mutual agreement between the instructor and the division chairperson.
d. The following courses which involve substantial student writing assignments will have an assigned class limit not to exceed twenty-five (25) students: Compositions Skills, Composition I, Composition II, Writing for Industry, Business Communications, and Advanced Formatting. The class limit for such courses may be waived by the mutual consent of the instructor and the division chairperson. A full-time teaching load may consist of four (4) of the above-listed courses taught in the traditional classroom environment (i.e., face-to-face instruction) per semester. Any faculty member with fewer classes than four (4) of the above-listed courses will carry the same teaching load as other teaching faculty.
e. In courses which are lecture laboratory, laboratory, lecture clinic, clinic, or a combination thereof, each one (1) hour of laboratory or clinic will be equated as .77 (2007- 08), .785 (2008-09), and .80 (2009-10) per semester hour of credit. In courses which are nursing clinical hours, ea...
Instructional Load. The administration shall be responsible to the Board of Education for the equitable distribution of work among the members of the teaching staff. The teacher workday for employees shall be from 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM, provided employee responsibility for instruction and/or supervision has ended. On days when a late start occurs due to weather employees are expected to report to work 30 minutes before the designated starting time. On Fridays and days of early dismissal due to weather employees can leave once instructional and supervision duties have been deemed completed by administration. Each school handbook will identify building specific criteria so administration and staff can determine when instructional and supervision duties are completed. Teachers are expected in their classrooms at the above noted times unless extra-curricular assignments or professional or departmental meetings conflict. Extra duty assignments such as noon duty and club sponsorship shall be made by the appropriate school principal. It shall be the goal of the Board of Education to maintain a maximum pupil enrollment of 25 to 30 pupils in grades kindergarten through twelve. Enrollments in specific attendance and subject areas may alter this proposal, but every effort shall be made to maintain this pupil-teacher ratio.
Instructional Load. The basic unit for determining load is a lecture hour equivalent (LHE). A full-time Student Development teaching assignment is 12 LHEs per academic year. Normally, a load will be 6 LHEs per semester, but depending on institutional needs, the total load may be determined on the basis of both semesters. Alternate time assignments may be made based on institutional need and individual interest and expertise; this may result in fewer than 12 LHEs of instructional assignment. 1 x hours scheduled.
Instructional Load. 0201 The Board shall hold the administration responsible for equitable distribution of work among the members of the staff.
Instructional Load. A. Elementary
1. The administration shall be responsible for the actual equitable distribution of work among Members. Work shall be defined as class size, instructional/noninstructional duties, room assignments, and class roster.
2. Teachers at the elementary level shall be provided with the opportunity for input to the building principal in the scheduling of such work.
3. Elementary and special area Teachers shall have 200 minutes of scheduled conference/planning time during each teacher's work week. Special area Teachers (art, physical education and music) shall have at least two (2) thirty (30) minute conference/planning periods per week.
4. The District will provide Art, P.E., and music instruction for at least forty- five (45) minutes per class per week. In August of each year representatives of the Administration and the FEA will meet to review special Teacher schedules with a goal of maximizing regular teaching conference/planning time.
Instructional Load. It is understood that an instructional LHE comprises three elements: course preparation, delivery of instruction, and evaluation of student work. Variations in LHEs assigned to courses reflect the varying proportion of one or more of these elements. Ordinarily, a load will be 15 LHEs each semester but, depending on institutional needs, the total load may be determined on the basis of both semesters in the academic year (30 LHEs). Ordinarily the regular load in any given semester will not be less than 12 LHEs nor more than 18 LHEs. In those cases where a faculty member routinely must teach in excess of base load in the spring term due to built-in overload, at the request of the faculty member, the xxxx will work with the faculty member in an attempt to find an alternative schedule. If a load is possible that meets the stipulations below, but the faculty member chooses a load that is inconsistent with them, the faculty member must sign a waiver of the additional LHEs.
1. Every effort will be made to assign a base load to each faculty member that does not require more than three different preparations for courses within a semester (or two preparations for courses of 6 or more LHEs for lecture/standard laboratory faculty members). In those cases when additional preparations must be assigned, each course will be credited with an additional 0.75 LHE (e.g., in such circumstances a faculty member whose usual load is five 3 LHE courses would instead have a load of four 3.75 LHE courses for a total of 15 LHEs). The following guidelines apply:
a. When multiple preparations are required to construct a full load (e.g., when multiple sections are not available) the premium will not be paid, unless special kinds of courses/circumstances are required (e.g., when new courses are involved).
b. Classes taught in the same room at the same time by a single instructor (e.g., ART 131 and ART 231) are considered a single preparation.
Instructional Load a) Instructional load shall be equitably distributed among members of the instructional staff. Faculty within a department or grade level in a building may provide input to the appropriate administrator regarding equitable distribution of classes and students.
Instructional Load. 1. The Board and the Association agree with the philosophy that the smaller the class size the more individualized teaching becomes. Therefore, the Board shall strive toward a ratio of one
(1) teacher to twenty-five (25) students throughout the school system.
2. The Board shall make every effort to ensure an equitable distribution of work among employees.
3. The Board shall make every effort to ensure an equitable distribution of special needs students among classrooms.
4. Employees must be consulted at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to parent conferences. The employee may agree to waive this notice in individual cases.
