Time Management for Teachers: Why Start a New School Year with the Same Old Systems?
Summary:
Teaching comes with unique time management challenges. Your schedule is tightly packed, and flexibility is limited. Yet, you must find ways to be available for students and parents beyond classroom hours. How can you find time to get everything done?
The Challenge:
As a teacher, your time is tightly scheduled. With little room to alter class schedules, you need to maximize the limited planning periods you have. Availability for students and parents is crucial, adding to the demands on your time.
Strategies for Effective Time Management:
One powerful way to save time is by grouping similar activities. This strategy helps you make the most of short time blocks and reduces the work you take home. Here are some tips:
1. Focus on Single Tasks: Research shows you're four times more productive when concentrating on one type of task rather than juggling multiple ones. While interruptions are inevitable, minimizing multitasking can boost efficiency.
2. Group Activities for Efficiency:
- Telephone Calls: Dedicate specific times in the morning and afternoon for nonurgent calls. Aim to handle routine conversations within these blocks.
- Email Management: Emails can easily consume your day. Turn off alerts and set designated times to tackle your inbox, just like with phone calls.
- Meetings and Discussions: Limit frequent interruptions by organizing your thoughts in a folder and addressing them in one meeting. Encourage colleagues to do the same for you.
- Reading Material: Gather articles and publications without urgent deadlines, and allocate a specific time to catch up on reading, whether in paper or digital form.
- Filing: Don't file each item immediately. Collect papers in a folder and schedule a time to file everything together efficiently.
Conclusion:
Building the habit of grouping activities takes practice but results in increased productivity. By reducing multitasking, you can reclaim control over your time and achieve more during the day.
