Subject Area Specialists. The Federation and the District understand that every possible subject matter competency may not be available within the corps of Consulting Teachers, and therefore it shall occasionally be necessary to secure additional assistance to fully address identified deficiencies. In such cases the Consulting Teacher maintains primary responsibility for the Individual Improvement Plan, but may function more as a case carrier who assures the availability of appropriate resources and services. At the request of the Consulting Teacher, a subject area specialist may be assigned by the PAR Panel to collaborate and assist the participating teacher. A subject area specialist is a consultant who shall be utilized as the need arises. The subject area specialist will provide direct support for the participating teacher and recommend appropriate professional development activities. Subject area specialists will receive release time and/or compensation at the contracted extra duty rate. The minimum of such release time and/or compensation shall be four (4) hours. Additional hours may be determined by the PAR Panel.
