TPD AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL Sample Clauses

TPD AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL. Most TPD occurs at the school level. This sub-section focuses on the time allocated to TPD, the barriers to engaging in TPD, the types of TPD offered and providers, and who teachers prefer to learn from during TPD. Subsequent sub-sections elaborate on specific TPD experiences and are followed by a sub-section summarizing the role of methodologists. Large proportions of school directors (90%), methodologists (73%), and teachers (more than 70%, across all subjects) reported that their schools provide time for teachers to participate in formal TPD activities while at school. The most-cited frequencies for teachers’ participation in TPD activities were once a week and once a month. These results indicate that teachers have sufficient time to engage in activities that enhance their professional skills and performance continually. Teacher respondents stated that they take part in school-level TPD activities regularly, with 27% participating at least once a month, 28% participating once a week, and 16% participating several times a week (Figure 7). Nevertheless, the respondents identified several barriers to TPD (Figure 12). The three main barriers to TPD reported by school directors were as follows: • Lack of incentives to engage in professional development. • Lack of school financial resources. • Lack of personal financial resources. In contrast, methodologists mentioned the following barriers: • Lack of Internet access. • Lack of personal financial resources among teachers. • Lack of incentives to engage in professional development. These results differ from SIS Phase 1, where most teachers cited lack of time and the fact that inspectors only check paperwork, not teachers’ professional skills, as the main barriers to their professional development. These results indicate that teacher participation in TPD is mainly constrained by external factors. Teachers were also asked to select the types of TPD that applied to them from a list of 15 types of TPD (Table 10). The types of TPD teachers selected most frequently included observing fellow teachers teaching (60%–66%), being observed by others (44%–51%), presentations (39%–54%), formal training delivered by school leadership (42%–55%), informal training delivered by teachers (47%–48%), and discussions with others about their classroom practices (38%–43%), their students (28–36%), or lesson planning (38–44%). According to 55%–63% of teachers (depending on subject), 70% of school directors, and 70% of methodologists,...

  • School Calendar The Dual Credit course schedule will be determined by the location of the course delivery, provided that the required contact hours and prerequisites are met. The instructional calendar for the high school portion of the School will be based on the School District calendar and comply with all related TEA regulations for school attendance. The School District will adjust its schedule as necessary to enable Students to enroll in and attend the college- level courses provided by College. The School District and College will coordinate the State Student assessment requirements to ensure said assessments are administered without penalty. The School District, School and College will ensure that the School calendar accounts for the required per-semester contact hours for courses. When the instructional delivery is on the College site, it may be necessary for Students to attend classes on days when the School District is closed (e.g., different holiday closures). When Students take classes at the College scheduled on days when School is closed, the School District will ensure that at least one staff member with administrative authority be on call and available to be reached by the College’s Office of High School Programs or other College staff in case of emergency. The designated School staff member will have access to Student emergency contact information. While the College agrees to make scheduling accommodations for required State assessments, including the STAAR and End of Course Exams, all contact hour requirements must be met. For assessments not mandated by the State, the College and School District will come to a mutual agreement on administration dates in order to appropriately manage disruptions of college courses and ensure contact hour requirements are met.
