My school has arranged a field trip for students and I am assigned to take them to Mexico. Does supervising this field trip qualify as an alternate PD activity?
No, field trips, although worthy enterprises, are not considered alternate PD activities. The Convention Attendance Protocol stipulates that teachers are to avoid scheduling activities that conflict with their convention dates. Furthermore, schools and school jurisdictions are not to direct teachers to carry out activities that prevent them from attending their assigned conventions. Return to top.
