Common use of MODIFIED DAY Clause in Contracts

MODIFIED DAY. 1. The Districtwide modified days occur at the end of the work day. 2. The site administrators or District shall structure Site Learning Days (SLDs) as follows: eight SLD meetings not to exceed two-hour days and one SLD meeting not to exceed one-hour day (nine [9] SLD days total). The first Tuesday of each month is reserved for districtwide PLC meetings. 3. The District will schedule the SLD dates at the start of each school year. Sites may waive the district-calendared dates to provide for local needs (see Article 20.0 for waiver process). 4. SLD meetings are to begin no later than ten (10) minutes after the final bell/dismissal unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the administrator and 70% of the staff at a particular site. 5. Teacher collaborative team meetings are to begin five (5) minutes after the final bell/dismissal and end one hour after that. 6. It is also agreed that the site administrator, as a part of the professional learning community, may, in collaboration with learning teams (i.e., site leadership team, teacher team and intervention team), work side by side with teams to provide resources, materials, and support to assist teacher teams to be successful, and may obtain artifacts/evidence from learning teams as it relates to the tenets of PLC. 7. Modified days are generated through additional minutes taught each day. Therefore, unit members shall determine how to use modified days outside of SLDs. Time should be guided by the tenets that specify the work of the collaborative teams driven by the four critical questions of a PLC: 1. What do we want each student to learn? 2. How will we know when each student has learned it? 3. How will we respond when some students don’t learn? 4. How will we respond when a student already knows what we want them to learn?
