Workload complexity and teacher retention
Workload complexity and teacher retention
In this online webinar, Vaughan Connolly presents preliminary findings from a PhD study of workload complexity and its relationship with teacher retention.
As the retention of teachers becomes more critical, the importance of teachers' work contexts is of growing significance.
So far the benefits of reducing the workload associated with marking and planning have been well supported. However, the complexity of teachers’ timetables remains an under-explored, yet policy friendly consideration.
This complexity may impact levels of marking and preparation, in addition to the quality of teachers' professional relationships, which have been shown to lead to burnout and an intention to move schools, or to leave teaching.
