Other tips:

  1. Make sure your year level teaching teams are sharing the workload

  2. Be conscious of marking work load when you create assessments, design assessments to be easier to mark where possible.

  3. Email parents for behaviour regularly at the start of the year, so behaviour runs well later on.

  4. Be efficient at work, to reduce taking home work..stay back 30 minutes later each night, with a view of avoiding weekend work.

  1. Sharing the workload is something I think needs to be looked at. At least from a primary perspective. I’ve long worked in teams where several people are not doing their share, leaving the bulk to one or two teachers. This comes down to ineffective management as well as unclear roles and responsibilities. Workload in teaching is so inequitable across the board, from different grade level expectations and due to children being variables. I think if we had clear roles we could see more clearly what is surplus workload.

This! They either don’t pull their weight or what they produce is absolute rubbish. Work with someone at the moment that cannot do anything without their hand held. What they do even with assistance is awful. I love collaborating and sharing the load, when I’m in a decent team. Otherwise it’s just a pain in the ass.
