This Week Is a Four Day Work Week. Should I Have Four Teacher-Initiated Morning Blocks This Week?

|
|
Yes. Article 23.8.5 is clear that four of the Morning Blocks each week are reserved for Teacher-initiated planning.
Additionally, per Article 23.8.6. "If a Supervisor causes a Teacher to lose a Morning Block, the Teacher shall receive compensation for the additional workload using Administrative Premium." Click here for a copy of the administrative premium form.
If the contract is not being followed at your school, please reach out to your WTU Field Representative.
