TARGET: Providing Teacher Planning Times

[Sally Siemoens <SSiemoens@AOL.COM>]

We have had flexible scheduling in the elementary libraries of my district
for several years now and have been very happy with it. We were given this
flexible scheduling by making computer lab time a "special." Students have
two physical education, one art, one music, and one computer "special" each
week in order to provide planning times for teachers. As our teachers are
becoming more computer literate they want to be in the computer lab with
their students during that time and don't want it to be their "special." I
can understand this and I agree with them, but I don't want the library to
provide planning times either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does your
school use a creative method for providing planning times? I will post a hit
if people are interested.
