[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, check out the podcast and blog Angela Watson's 40 hr teacher work week. There is a paid club (which I don't do as my job is unique and has different challenges than a classroom teacher) but I've found the pod casts and blogs help me be more intentional with my time. It's not an easy job (I do thankfully love what I do) but this helped me to feel better under control.[/quote]

I've got ads for this, but wondered was it really worth it. In two decades of teaching, I've found that the 40 hour teachers and the 80 hour teachers weren't the strongest ones. And I was an 80 hour teacher my first year and then the first year teaching any new curriculum. I'm at 60 hours on average now and [b]am considered strong enough to lead a team and mentor new teachers.[/b] I'd love to be more efficient with my time and technology helps a lot with that. I spend little time at the copier thanks to Google Classroom, for example. I also use Google Forms quizzes when I can since they self-grade. But I still need to write individualized feedback on essays and projects. Can you give some specific hints that might convince me the subscription is worth it?[/quote]

This doesn't necessarily mean anything besides the fact that you aren't on an improvement plan and that you volunteered to be a mentor. It's extra work for people who want the ego boost, like most things in life.[/quote]
