It said teachers in Scotland spend 855 hours a year in class
So just less than 25 weeks per year based on a 35 hour week
Add 20% to that for lesson prep etc., and you are looking at 30 weeks per year out of 52
Can I have this teaching job, where it only takes 12 minutes to prepare a 1 hour lesson, please? Oh, and mark the work done within the lesson.
I am required to be in work for 200 days per year. In one week, I have 23.5 hours of contact time. That’s 940 contact hours per year.
Using your 20%, that’s 1128 hours per year – a 32 week year based on a 35 hour week.
In reality, it takes about an hour to prepare a one hour lesson. (I’m lucky in that I teach the same lesson to multiple classes. Primary teachers teach each lesson once and may be preparing two or three different activities for some lessons.)
Using my 100%, that’s 1880 hours per year – a 54 week year based on a 35 hour week…
