Managing Teacher Workload

"`Aimed primarily at school managers and teachers (but generally relevant to others in the education and training sectors), Managing Teacher Workload is very well written, and very comprehensive. It provides a good mix of hard fact (even to relevant UK recommendations and legislation); references to books and other writings and to websites; activities; and examples and anecdotes. All that makes the book quite easy to work with and to read′ - British Journal of Educational Technology ′Helping Teachers Develop is a positive, uplifting, encouraging publication … It is the sort of publication we need in the profession and it is well worth being part of every head teacher or staff development tutor’s collection of really useful books. I have to confess, even before I had finished reading it for review I was using Helping Teachers Develop with my trainee teachers′ - Peter Stammers, in the Journal of In-service Education ′...their strategies are useful, thoroughly researched and written in readable, unfussy language. In short, they have produced something that could go some way towards rousing teachers from the bad dream.′ - The Times Educational Supplement `This book deserves to be the standard introduction to teachers′ abilities to achieve a work-life balance. It reflects the challenges and the changes facing teachers, dealing effectively with both the big picture and the fine details that matter most.′ - Dr Mary Bousted, General Secretary, Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) ""This book is intended for teachers and school leaders in the field who are actively seeking ways to reduce stress, prioritize tasks as well as optimize the time spent on tasks while at work…Teachers willing to engage in (the) self-reflective exercises will find Managing Teacher Workload: Work-Life Balance and Wellbeing a valuable resource in discovering teaching as a fulfilling and satisfying profession."" -- Cristy A.
