Approve Addition of Two Paid Additional Days to Certified Teachers for 2010-2011
In order to prepare for the full implementation of Kentucky's Common Core Curriculum in our schools beginning in the 2011-12 school year, FCPS teachers will need additional time in June to deconstruct standards, revise curriculum maps, as well as develop learning targets, formative assessments, common assessments, and units of study. We are proposing that teachers would be paid for two additional days (at their daily rate) during June, 2011 to provide additional time for preparation of instruction based upon the Common Core Standards. These two days are in addition to the professional development days currently in their contracts.
Communication to teachers related to the additional paid days has taken place through emails with all staff, discussions with FCEA, Teacher Leaders Network, and the National Board candidates. The response has been extremely positive.
This is a non-recurring expense of $233,673 which will be paid by EduJobs Funds.
