Nc as potentially outing!
School I have taught at for a while have just made yet more changes and I don't know if I'm being unreasonable but it feels like they are expecting too much of us.
We have just moved from 4 lesson days to 5 lesson days. We have a 5 minute transition between lessons which we have now been told we have to be on duty in corridors for (this was the time I used to set up for next lesson and sometimes run to the loo and then meet and greet!
Results last year were poor so we are likely to be under scrutiny in our lessons too. Every day we are being asked to do more and more but no time to do it- for example, as a UPS teacher, we have been told we have to mentor a year 11 student and meet fortnightly- but I only have 3 or 4 PPA a fortnight which is when I try to plan etc! We were trialled last year having an extra 10% off timetable, we were told this would continue and then after the deadline for handing in notice we were told actually we would not be getting it this year.
I'm feeling incredibly stressed and would happily not go back. Do other schools ask staff to do dutys in lesson transition? I think I just need a moan more than anything!
