Workload: Taking Ownership of your Teaching

Every new teacher worries about managing workload! This timely and essential guide really helps. It' s much more than a guide, it' s like having a daily mentoring dialogue sharing the insight and considered reflections of an experienced practitioner. This book is chock full of ideas, examples and practical tasks - wrapped in memorable metaphors (Goldmining; Packing Saddles; Buckaroos) to engage early career teachers. It will strengthen the confidence and professional self-identity of the teacher as well as the pragmatic balancing between work and life required to succeed. -- Margaret Mulholland, Association of School and College Leaders This is an extremely timely and helpful book which will be of real interest to new teachers and those who support them. Especially given the challenging times we live in. -- James Noble-Rogers, UCET Workload remains a huge issue for many teachers, and whilst much needs to be done to tackle this at a system level, for a new teacher it is also crucial to develop and understand strategies for managing workload. This book provides an excellent primer - and manages to be both informative and, perhaps unexpectedly, also an entertaining read! With a focus on how we can ensure teachers have a ' professionally acceptable workload' , the book covers a range of topics and things to consider, from how we perceive our role as teachers to managing work creep. Reflective and practical tasks throughout help ensure ideas are embedded and adopted in practice. Perhaps most importantly, the key themes that come up throughout are agency and balance - both critically important for all teachers, not just those starting out their career. -- Cat Scutt, Chartered College of Teaching
