• Depending on the total number of periods a day, each teacher is allowed a 45-minute prep period a day or a 90-minute prep period when on a four-blocks-a-day schedule.  The remaining time will be used as instructional teaching time.
• Develop yearly unit plans and weekly lesson plans. All plans should include outcomes, assessments, resources, vocabulary, and differentiation strategies.  All plans must be available for the Principal upon request and for the teacher’s absence.
• Maintain pupil records of achievement: anecdotal records, writing samples, homework completion, portfolios, and records of parent meetings.
