Teachers' time is one of our most precious resources in schools. A teacher's day is a whirlwind of tightly scheduled tasks, from planning and preparation to delivering instruction and engaging with students.
To craft and implement policies that make the best use of time to support teachers to be effective, we need to look at how districts expect teachers to use their time and how that compares across the country.
This study takes a deep dive into NCTQ's Teacher Contract Database (TCD) to explore requirements on how teachers spend their time, analyzing the following:
- length of the workday and school year
- required time on campus
- allocated planning time
- instructional time for specific subjects
- time dedicated for professional development
