The topic of workload has been in the news again with the release of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers’ research findings showing that 90 per cent of the 13,000 school staff they polled say that workload is their top concern.
It is now crystal clear that workload has become the most worrying aspect of the recruitment and retention crisis and something that requires more than just better organisation on the part of teachers. Rather it is time for policy intervention from the government.
In the meantime, we at the Education Support Partnership want to make sure we can support you to be as close to your best as is currently possible, whether through our 24-hour helpline or one of our school-based workplace wellbeing programmes and services. As such, while we hope for definitive government action, here are some tips and advice on managing workload by using tried and tested time-management techniques.
