Case: Overwhelmed
As a new teacher, I am overwhelmed with duties and mandates. I am so tired by the end of the day that I find myself having to work on the weekend to catch up. What do you teachers do to make sure everything is done. I see so many teachers leaving exactly at 345 and I wonder how they are able to do so.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a teacher of 6 years, it does get easier. I promise you that. My first couple years, I stayed at school from 7 am to 7 pm almost every day and went in on the weekends. My family life suffered as did my mental status. You have to find time for you. Find out your own schedule and your own timeline of doing things. Grade papers electronically through CPS or iPad or scantron. It is a huge time saver. Make lesson plans that can be used over and over again that you only have to change minor things as you adapt lessons each year. Collaborate with colleagues to help share the workload. Email parents or use apps like remind.com to get parent communication done. Then just call the ones that are major necessities. These are all huge time savers for me. I hope this helps. Remember find time for you and your family. DO NOT SACRIFICE YOU!!! You will be no good to all of your kids at school if you do not take care of yourself. So be selfish and take the me time. |

Comments: I think this solution is best because it solves the problem at hand with the scheduling advice but also reminds us that we are no good to our students if we are not good to ourselves first. |
