BOARD AGENDA ITEM

Item Title:Common Start and End Times to Support Collaboration (10 Mins/Information)
Item Type:Information
Background:

Recently, the District and the Alameda Education Association (AEA) came to a tentative agreement for the fiscal years 2022-2025 which includes language on "Collaboration" under Article 8.

 

Collaboration is designed by the site leadership team to support the process of working together to achieve the goals and actions in the school site plan. The structure will support time for teachers to plan, problem solve together and participate in inquiry together. Sites shall have four days per month for no less than 55 minutes and no more than 60 minutes of collaboration within the workday on Wednesdays. Site Leadership teams will create a schedule for collaboration.

 

In order to implement collaboration, the district must start by creating a schedule to allow for the time to implement this contractual piece. Tonight, staff present the Board with draft schedules and steps that will be taken to achieve this shift.
