The heavy hours
2023
Overview
The 2022 Department of Education Issues Paper: Teacher Workforce Shortages, for example surmised that teacher \"workloads and their complexity have increased over time\", contributing both to attrition and a decline in people choosing teaching as a career. A research project in partnership with the Queensland Teachers' Union (QTU) has found the issue is more complex than workload alone, and suggests systemic responses solely targeting workload, such as reducing the number of teaching hours or providing suites of lesson plans, will have little traction in turning the tide. Too often, proposed recommendations to solve the problems of teachers' work focus solely on workload (such as saving teacher's time through automating or outsourcing some tasks), rather than addressing what it is that teachers find stressful in their classrooms and in their roles. [...]Workload and work intensity together contribute to time poverty among teachers. // Policies must address both areas to combat attrition and poor job satisfaction. // A new app provides the means to better understand the work teachers are doing.
