As a teacher it is vital to be able to manage your time accurately. A teacher has many tasks that need to be completed on a daily, weekly, monthly and termly basis and without managing your time efficiently, it is easy to get behind.

As a rule most teachers will do their marketing in the evening and at weekends. Although they are given PPA (planning, preparation and assessment) time, this is usually a few hours within the week and not nearly enough needed for all the planning and marking. Parent’s evenings, report writing and school trips also often eat in to any time that has been set aside for marketing and planning so it is important to know when these are coming up and plan around them.

Creating a simply schedule should be enough to help you work out how many hours a week or a day you need to set aside for admin work.
