I want to share here for the first time publicly the fact that at my agency, we have been granted five minutes of PBLA prep time per classroom hour, which we block together into something that works out to about 1.5 paid days per month for PBLA module writing, assessment tool creation, and marking of all those assessments. It really helps. (Of course we are still doing a ton of stuff on our own time, as all teachers do.) I think this should be a rock bottom minimum for any employer requiring implementation of PBLA. --KKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182881635816655061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828415387916366867.post-36465697130548793362017-05-18T18:28:37.612-07:002017-05-18T18:28:37.612-07:00We have just recently heard that after being throu...We have just recently heard that after being through one strenuous round of PBLA implementation the funders have decided to release PBLA.2 which we will have to adjust to. I really hope that more funding for more pay and more paid time is part of the reboot because at present I am working too many hours underpaid and unacknowledged. <br /><br />Burnt Out in OntarioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828415387916366867.post-7457564903673796202017-05-08T03:07:27.101-07:002017-05-08T03:07:27.101-07:00Shawna, thank you for taking the time to leave thi...Shawna, thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely comment.
