Common use of Proposed Timeline Clause in Contracts

Proposed Timeline. The duration of the PLP can be for as little as a semester and as long as two years, but PLP credits will only be awarded upon successful completion of the project. Proposals: The Professional Learning Project should outline the research to be completed, the actions to be taken, and the evidence of student learning expected in addressing the inquiry question. The proposal should be detailed with dates for key events. An inquiry journal will be used to reflect on the professional learning throughout the project. The proposal should contain reasonable estimates of the time necessary to complete each phase of the PLP. The ultimate success of the project will lie in many educators engaging in this process of life-long learning, reflecting on what they have learned and bringing that new understanding or insight into their everyday classroom planning and instruction. Project participants will also be required to make a public presentation of their work to the staff and/or community. Deadlines for proposals to begin in the Fall semester is May 1 for the Spring semester is November 1. Committee: A Committee made up of three teachers appointed by the APT and three administrators appointed by the Superintendent will review PLP proposals and recommend to the Superintendent those proposals that the Committee deems appropriate along with an estimate of the credits that will be awarded upon the successful completion of the project. The Superintendent will make a final determination within 30-days of receipt of the proposal from the Committee. The Committee will also evaluate PLPs in progress and determine if the PLP has been satisfactorily completed and how many credits should be awarded. If the Committee is not unanimous in determining whether the PLP has been satisfactorily completed or how many credits to award, the matter shall be referred to the Superintendent for a final determination. If the teacher(s) disagree with the Superintendent’s final determination, the teacher(s) involved, accompanied by another member of the bargaining unit, shall be given the opportunity to discuss the PLP with the Superintendent. Credits: PLP credits will be awarded after all requirements are met. PLP credits will be based upon a conversion table that roughly equates to the time commitment of university credits and degrees. For example, a three-credit university course normally requires 45 hours of class time plus 2 hours of travel/preparation for each hour of class time, or a total of 135 hours. Staff Development Hours: Only (50) staff development hours in excess of those necessary to achieve certification will be counted toward advancement on the Advanced Degree schedule, limited to 5 credits every 3 years. Transition: No PLP or Profession Development credits will be awarded for professional activities conducted prior to the effective date of the CBA. No teacher will be placed higher on the new Advanced Degree schedule higher than his/her current track status. Salary Adjustments: Salary adjustments based upon successful completion of the PLP shall be applied once a year in accordance with present contract language.
