Preparation Time. 6.3.1. In recognition that all teachers are more successful when adequately prepared, the District has traditionally established daily preparation periods in the secondary schools. In order to provide this important opportunity for all teachers, the District and the Association have established elementary preparation time as described below.
Preparation Time a) Each full-time classroom Teacher shall be allocated at least two hundred, forty (240) minutes for each period of five (5) instructional days, exclusive of recess and lunch period.
b) Additional preparation time of 200 minutes shall be allocated to each full-time classroom Teacher during the school year and shall be scheduled by each Principal during the school year in consultation with school staff.
c) No preparation period shall be less than thirty (30) minutes.
d) Preparation time for part-time Teachers shall be pro-rated.
e) Notwithstanding other provisions in this Collective Agreement, the board may assign the additional teaching staff generated by the increase in elementary Teacher preparation time above the 2008-09 level to enable full-time school based teaching assignments in the Arts in more than one elementary school. This shall be done in consultation with the District Staffing Committee.
f) Notwithstanding other provisions in this Collective Agreement, the additional weekly minutes of preparation time above the 2008-09 level, generated within 20 consecutive instructional days, may be aggregated to provide for meaningful blocks of preparation time for Teachers. The Board may not use the aggregated additional minutes of preparation to hire occasional Teachers to provide coverage, as opposed to regular specialist Teachers.
g) Missed preparation time shall only be rescheduled where a Teacher is required by the principal to provide instruction during his or her scheduled preparation time for a Teacher absent from work. Such rescheduling of missed preparation time shall occur as soon as administratively feasible, but no later than three months after the loss of the preparation time and in any event within the same year.
h) Professional activity days shall not be considered instructional days for the purpose of scheduling preparation time.
i) The Board shall not combine classes for the sole purpose of providing preparation time. Notwithstanding the above, the Board and Union may agree that models designed to enhance programming through the use of specialist Teachers can result in combined classes that provide preparation time for some Teachers.
