planning period

Teacher's free time

A planning period is a scheduled block of time set aside for preparation rather than active duties.

The term appears most often in education, where teachers receive planning periods during the school day to develop lessons, grade assignments, and handle administrative tasks: I have a planning period third hour if you want to meet then.
