We’re building a set of calculators to help teachers work out how much time they will need over the academic year for their various jobs. If you would like us to build a calculator for a role / function we haven’t built yet, please drop us a line by email.
Free Labour Calculator
How much is all your free labour worth if you were to get paid for it?
Why not share your results to our FB page, and there’ll be a free mug for the teacher with the highest free labour score! (Competition closes 28th June 2024.)
Marking calculator
How long does it really take to mark a set of examinations or a swathe of coursework? Let’s find out.
You’ll need to run this for each of your marking sessions throughout the year.
Moderation calculator
You’ve done the marking, and now it’s time to get revenge on your colleagues for taking the last of the milk by picking holes in every answer they have marked correct. But how long does this process take?
TA holder calculator
So you got that promotion – well done! But how much time will you need to do the job properly? (3 step calculator)
Remember, time for Teaching Allowances must be allowed for within the 1265 hours.
UCAS calculator
Personal statements; writing references, UCAS portals, deleting the word “passionate” from personal statements, checking submissions… getting students UCAS-ready takes time, but it’s not PPA time.
Email & comms
Checking and responding to work email is work, but it’s not PPA time. So how long does it take to open emails about wee Jonny’s missing PE bag?
(And all the super-important stuff too.)
