Professional Support Periods and Assignments Sample Clauses

Professional Support Periods and Assignments a. Guidelines for the use of professional support periods for new teachers will be established.

During the first year of employment of a teacher who has not had previous professional employment as a teacher, two preparation periods per week shall be designated as professional support periods. c. For uncertified teachers being mentored during their second year of employment, two preparation periods per week shall continue to be designated as professional support periods exclusively for the purpose of mentoring. d. During the first year of employment, a new teacher will be exempt from the generally applicable policy of rotation of teaching assignments. If the number of new teachers makes it impractical to apply this provision, an alternative to this approach may be implemented if jointly approved by the Board and the Union. Guidelines for this purpose will be issued by the Chancellor after consultation with the Union. New teachers may not volunteer or be assigned to coverages during their professional activity periods.

  • TEACHING LOADS AND ASSIGNMENTS A. Should teacher absences necessitate using teachers on preparation periods as substitutes because no eligible substitutes are available, said teacher giving up his/her preparation period shall be paid at the rate listed is Schedule B for each prep period given up to substitute. Every effort will be made to share the assignments equally. When absences of fifty percent (50%) or more of the day occur, the Administration will call for an eligible substitute. B.
