Please share your perspectives and insights, offer suggestions, criticisms, ideas, and other comments. What suggestions do you have for improvements regarding this policy recommendation? What are some pros/cons of this policy recommendation that you would like to explore? Best, Jackie Taylor, NIFL-AALPD List Moderator, jataylor@utk.edu **Teacher Working Conditions** In addition to paid professional development release time, programs should have sufficient resources to fund adequate working conditions that will allow teachers to make change as a result of the professional development they attend, including: * Benefits for all teachers (including part-time), * paid prep time for all teachers (including part-time), * access for all teachers to at least one hour a week of sharing time with either colleagues or a coordinator who supports their teaching, and * at least monthly mechanisms (staff meetings, meetings with director) for voicing their input/decision making within the program. Here's the entire list of policies for easy reference: http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/PDPolicyPlatformUpdates
