In this exclusive #NexEdBlog Faye Heming uses her 20+ years of experience to cover 5 top tips to help NQT’s manage their workload more productively.
Over the past few years I have been devising and delivering training courses for small groups of newly qualified teachers who work within 20 miles of each other to help them refine their practice and more importantly build up a network of support. The reason for this was because when I was an NQT we had the opportunity to do this and I am still in touch with some of these teachers….23 years later!
To cut costs some Local Authorities gather together over one hundred NQTs to deliver training and I do not believe this is right way to support them. So many teachers are leaving the profession due to workload issues, so surely it is our duty to do everything we can to support, train and care for newly qualified teachers.
I have listened to numerous NQTs talking about the negative impact of their workload and it occurred to me that no-one shares strategies to help address this. Below are a few tried and tested tactics:
Most importantly, building up a network of teachers to talk to, share the load and offload to is crucial. Teachers have many responsibilities and these all add to our workload. Analyse which aspects of your workload are time consuming, e.g. assessing, planning, marking, preparing resources, dealing with behavioural issues, and ask your colleagues to share their strategies – you might find there are some excellent solutions out there.
