Work Requirements - Teachers
Overview
Within statewide parameters which are set out in the Management of Teacher Work Guide, each school will decide how best to deploy teachers to deliver quality education.
In considering the allocation of work to teachers, four components must be taken into account:
- face-to-face teaching, including rostered classes, assemblies and extras
- other duties of teachers, including correction, preparation, assessment, meetings, student supervision, reporting and organisational duties
- other factors, including class size, curriculum mix, range of ability and age of students, resources available and facilities
- voluntary/discretionary effort, including school camps, concerts, excursions and after-school sport.

- Face to face teaching
