MDE: Teacher Preparation Time Guidance
Posted by MASA on 11/16/2020
As required by Executive Orders 20-94 and 20-95, school districts and charter schools must use 30 minutes of instructional time per day to allow teacher preparation time for any teacher providing distance or hybrid instruction (whether as part of the school’s model or because of the student option for distance learning), in addition to any preparation time which the teacher is entitled to by statute.
The Minnesota Department of Education knows there have been many questions surrounding this update, so they have created a Teacher Preparation Time Guidance document to help school leaders implement these provisions.
