ELEM: Planning Time

[Dianne Anderson <andersond@TEN-NASH.TEN.K12.TN.US>]

Hi Netters:

This is not a library question so delete now if you don't have time.  I
will understand.  I am trying to convince my school board that our
Elementary Faculty will be better teachers if they have 1 hour of
planning per day.  They now get 3.75 hours per week most of the time.
Does anybody know of any research that supports this statement?  I have
searched ERIC and a Infotrac.

I am president of the the local association and would like to help them
with this problem.  They are given planning for 2 trips to pe per week,
1 trip to library, and 2 to music.  all 30-45 minutes each.

Thanks for any insights.
Dianne
