A PLD hour is a full hour of delivery from the school’s perspective. A PLD hour does not include time spent preparing, travelling or completing business processes.
PLD leads and facilitators must agree to the activities that are involved in the PLD delivery.
When services might not be delivered in-person, the hours still need to be agreed with the school.
Delivery time
Delivery is when a facilitator is working with the school, kura, Kāhui Ako or cluster to develop, implement and review the agreed PLD.
Examples of delivery hours include time spent:
- planning and reviewing with PLD leads. This could include helping plan the PLD journey, helping review progress and agreeing to next steps at key milestones.
- with teachers and PLD leads which is focused on the PLD outcomes. This could include facilitating workshops, coaching sessions, meetings, group sessions, mentoring and one-on-one sessions.
- meeting with PLD leads and other PLD facilitators working on the same allocation to ensure a coherent approach to PLD.
- on evaluation design and data analysis which is carried out in conjunction with teachers or PLD leads. This could include working with PLD leads to prepare evidence, developing teacher capability surveys, designing processes for monitoring student progress with teachers, and supporting PLD leads and teachers to analyse and interpret conclusions from data.
- on data analysis and resource development services which relate to the PLD outcomes with the PLD lead. These services might not be delivered face-to-face but do need to be agreed to with the school.
- on follow-up work by a facilitator directly related to PLD outcomes. This could include sourcing and sending research material to support a teacher or school inquiry, commenting on a teacher’s inquiry methodology and providing feedback on conclusions a teacher has drawn about the impact of their teaching on ākonga and student progress.
Virtual delivery of PLD
PLD hours can be delivered virtually over Skype, Zoom or other online conference programs. The facilitator and school or kura need to agree when virtual delivery is appropriate.
The virtual session needs to be individually tailored to the needs, plan, and desired outcomes of the school or kura.
Preparation
Preparation is any time spent by the PLD facilitator on activities preparing for a session of PLD delivery before working with the school staff.
We assume that providers will spend at least an additional 15 minutes of preparation for every hour of delivery. For example, for four days of delivery there is at least one day of preparation for the facilitator to complete alongside the PLD. These 15 minutes are factored into the facilitator hourly rate paid by the Ministry for the PLD delivery.
Examples of preparation include:
- email, phone conversations and other virtual communications with the school, kura, Kāhui Ako or to confirm visit times or setting up workshop logistics.
- preparing materials for larger scale interactions such as PLD workshops.
- administrative tasks
Travel time
Travel time is not included as part of preparation or delivery time. There is a travel policy with a range of tiers providing recompense for travel time and expenses to facilitators travelling more than 50km to deliver PLD.
If a facilitator has delivered some hours virtually and did not travel, travel expenses cannot be claimed for those hours.
Business processes
Time spent on business processes such as accounting, personal development, annual reporting, induction, appraisal and strategic planning are not included as part of preparation or delivery time.
It is the PLD provider's responsibility to determine how much time a facilitator allocates to these tasks.
Agreeing to additional costs
If it is expected that the school, kura, Kāhui Ako or cluster will have to pay towards additional material (e.g. copyrighted texts), this should be made clear and agreed to at the earliest possible point.
