Hit: teachers stayiny in library and planning time

[Aileen Meyer <meyera@SAYDEL.K12.IA.US>]

Greetings:
   I'm sorry it took so long to respond with a hit concerning teachers in
the library and planning time.
I got way more responses than I expected-must be a hot topic.

Most schools give a least 30 minutes of planning a day to their teachers
however, many give a lot
more-there were a number of schools with 90 minutes per day.
 A number of librarians are not given planning time because they are not
considered teachers.
It was obvious from the responses that most principals take care of their
classroom teachers first however, there are a few principals out there that
recognize
collaboration and the role of the library.

32 of the schools reported that teachers stay with their class during
library time

17 of the schools reported that they provide planning time for the teachers

There were several schools that said it was up to the teacher if they
wanted to stay ( I counted those
as not staying) and that although the principal wanted the teachers to
stay, the teachers did their own thing.
