What does the day look like?
Actual classroom teaching takes up only 35% to 50% of your working week, typically covering 18 to 22 instructional periods of 45 to 60 minutes each. The remaining 50% to 65% of your time is spent on non-teaching duties: lesson planning, grading assignments, adapting Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), administrative tracking, and pastoral care.
You will work daily with tools like Google Classroom, Canvas LMS, Kundalik / eMaktab, PowerSchool, interactive SMART Boards, and Quizlet. Although standard contracts state 37.5 to 42 hours per week, term-time workloads regularly reach 45 to 55 hours due to evening and weekend marking. There are no night shifts, but you must regularly attend evening parent-teacher conferences, supervise after-school clubs, and moderate termly examinations.
