The district values professional learning that is embedded throughout the school year. Trade time is an opportunity for both professional and support staff members to participate in professional learning experiences outside of contractual hours. In exchange for your time, you have the opportunity to use these earned hours in place of the last district professional learning day, which is scheduled to occur on the last staff work day.
BASD Trade Time opportunities will be offered and advertised at various times throughout the year. Only approved trade time opportunities will count toward your accumulated hours. When an approved trade time opportunity is being offered, it will be advertised as such.
Staff members who lead trade time sessions will also be awarded trade time hours as well as compensated for planning time. In order to receive trade time hours, the presenter is required to complete the Trade Time Hours Submission Form.
