Manage episode 412528209 series 3549926
Welcome back to The Happy Teacher Pod and welcome to season 2!
We kick off this season with an episode on workload: one of the key reasons our country is facing a teacher retention crisis. Roxy and Jenny discuss the various ways they have learned to manage their workload over but with an important reminder that the onus should be on the government and school leaders to keep a teacher’s job manageable. Roxy discusses time blocking whilst Jenny sings praises for spreadsheets. They also discuss what constitutes workload; note to leaders: if the work is meaningful, it feels a lot less like work!Check out our socials or further tips on managing teacher workload.
In this week’s Break-time Banter, we hear from Jenny who used a ripped clothing moment (her trousers!) as a learning opportunity for herself and her students.
Get In The Bin comes from Roxy who throws away lesson plans in favour of well-thought out scheme of works.
